Green wall to deliver cleaner air
27 January 2012
On 28 November, a 200m² green wall designed to trap pollution was unveiled at Edgware Road station.
Dr Linda Davies, Emeritus Professor Nigel Bell and Researcher Kyle Shakleton (all Centre for Environmental Policy) have started collecting leaf samples from the site and analysing them to determine the most efficient species for capturing and retaining particulate matter (a pollutant coming mostly from traffic emissions). The aim is to identify the plants that are most efficient at removing pollution from the atmosphere so that TfL and others can plant them in areas where pollution exceeds EU limit values for health.
