Project Description and Objectives:
There are three observation sites for monitoring air pollutants (PM2.5、PM10, CO, NO2, SO2 and O3) in plantation stands from the city center (Zhongshan Park), to the out-loop highway (Jinhai Park), and to the rural area (Chongming Island) in Shanghai. With this data, the concentrations of air pollutants and the variation along the urban-rural gradient will be analyzed and compared with those in other parts of Shanghai. The results would show what extent the concentrations of the air pollutants that are reduced to inside different plantation stands.
