The biodiversity of urban trees has been proposed as a nature-based solution to improve air quality in cities and thus the well-being of citizens.
It is well known that trees filter impurities from the air by removing pollutants. However, different species are more or less efficient in this process.
The aim of the study day is to showcase some of the results obtained in Florence on the role of urban greenery in modulating air quality and to present an APP (FlorTree) that helps citizens and administrators identify the best tree species. The results were obtained by IRET-CNR researchers as part of various
projects. (LIFE AIRFRESH, NBFC PNRR, AnaEE) mainly PNRR IR0000032 – ITINERIS – Italian Integrated Environmental Research Infrastructures System, WP 6.3, CUP B53C22002150006.
