cancers. That is why cities around the world are looking for ways to reduce
pollution.
One idea that has been popular in countries across the world is planting trees.
In particular, many trees have been planted ( 25 ). The idea is that
chemicals that are released by the cars driving down the roads will be absorbed by
the leaves of trees above them. It is believed that this, in turn, will improve the air
quality for the people living, walking, and cycling near these streets.
1879
However, research done by scientists at the University of Surrey in England
has suggested that trees may not be the best option. The researchers tested how
well different kinds of plants affected the air on six different roadways. They
discovered that hedges-short, woody plants with many leaves-are more

effective at reducing air pollution along narrow, busy roads. This is because

), the leaves on trees are too high to protect people near the road from
pollution caused by cars. This evidence shows that, although trees are still a good

option along wider roads with few pedestrians, hedges offer a better solution in
many city environments.
