Air pollution in Cities and Metros across the world is a matter of global health concern. Poor air quality is associated with health problems throughout the world due to rapid urbanization and industrialization. Little relief is possible if we rely on ornamental plants which can mitigate air pollution. In the present era of rapid urbanization, the horizontal space left for outdoor gardens is very limited. Here comes the importance of vertical landscaping. Vertical green walls are aesthetically appealing, refresh the ambiance and improve the air quality. Vertical gardening expands the possibility of growing ornamental plants in a vertical space wherever space is a constraint. Smartly designing the available vertical spaces in balcony, terraces, sit outs and living rooms allows us to transform it into a beautiful and lush area perfect for relaxing. Plants in the vertical green walls can remove toxicants and obnoxious compounds from surrounding air, in addition to the basic photosynthesis. Relatively little is known, and limited studies have been carried out on the utilization of ornamentals in vertical gardens for curbing air pollution. The result of the present study shows that inclusion of ornamental plants having pollution mitigating ability in the vertical landscape plan will serve the dual purpose of making our living environment green and pollution free in the long run Not Available |
