An Application of Mist Generator as a Way to Reduce Particulate Matter during High Concentration Episodes in Urban Forests

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Previous conventional mist devices can induce a detrimental effect of leaf burn by intense, focused sunlight in summer. A mist generator is designed to prevent particulate matter (PM) damage to trees by combining mist with PM during high PM episodes.
