17Benefits of an Outdoor Classroom
1. Fosters cooperative, non-competitive environment.
2. Supporting active lifestyle.
3. Encourages interest in science and math.
4. Encourages environmental stewardship.
5. Fosters nature appreciation
6. Supports broad view of how the world works.
18How Plants Capture Particulate Matter

AbsorbedHydrocarbons
LiquidCondensedHydrocarbonParticles

Vegetated barriers are most effective if planted close to the pollution source in highly polluted areas.
DepositionThe physical capture of particulate matter on the leaves and bark of trees and plants. The greater surface area and the rougher or sticker the leaf and bark, the higher
Vegetation Barrier
Greenbelt scenarios in which vegetation acts as a barrier to air flow, altering airflow patterns and pollution plume trajectory in addition to deposition.
