13 The PM abatement is defined as the PM deposed on tree and shrub leaves.

15 Particulate matter (PM) abatement, due to the green surface is a key indicator of the amelioration of the environmental quality due to the implementation of NBS in urban areas. Indeed, PM has become a serious environmental problem and harms human health.
