Tree Barriers
Vegetative barriers, which are rows of trees and bushes, have been used to reduce dust downwind of coal mines and other sources.[1] Tree barriers are more effective when trees are fully grown, with a barrier of fully-grown trees in one location measured to lowered PM10 concentrations by 36%.[2] Multiple rows of trees are more effective than one or two rows, with the type of tree species planted also having an influence.[1] It stands to reason that vegetative barriers are more effective during seasons when there are leaves than in winter.
Funds and labor are required not only for tree planting but also for tree maintenance.
