2015 – Research on particulate matter reduction with Staffordshire University & Atkins
Research and Methodology
In the city center of Birmingham, United Kingdom, Atkins installed a series of Ready-to-Use Hedges. Staffordshire University examined the leaves for the capture of particulate matter, ranging from PM10 to PM1.0. These particles, which are harmful to public health, were analyzed to assess the effectiveness of the ivy screens.
Results and Impact
The research results showed that Mobilane’s Ready-to-Use Hedges can capture 40-60% of (ultra)fine particulate matter, depending on the location and conditions. This confirmed their value as a sustainable solution for improving air quality, providing measurable benefits for urban environments.
Through this scientific validation, Mobilane has not only further strengthened its reputation as an innovator but also emphasized the importance of urban greening as a tool to combat air pollution. The full report, PM10 Research: Reducing Pollution with Green Screens – Mobilane, is available.
