A Review Of Methodologies Applied For Determining Particulate Matter Characterization In Urban Regions, Garrett F. Diehl

University Honors Theses

This is a literature review on previous research conducted on particulate matter deposited on urban vegetation. This was accomplished by searching six databases, that uncovered 37 peer-reviewed journal articles. The main objective of this review is to present the methodology and findings of the articles analyzed to demonstrate how research in this area of study is being conducted. The findings show that there are variations in the literature and that many variables are not being incorporated into the methods and analyses of particulate matter found on urban vegetation. Understanding how different studies have analyzed particulate matter found on urban vegetation …
