Цікаві факти

Кущі та живопліт здатні очищувати повітря у забруднених містах із високими будівлями краще, ніж дерева, йдеться в дослідженні, опублікованому в журналі Atmospheric Environment. В роботі зазначається, що високі дерева добре очищують повітря на відкритих просторах, у той час як у містах із щільною забудовою цю роботу краще виконують невисокі щільні чагарники.
