The impact of green spaces, urban settings, seasonal changes, and pollutants on dissemination of antimicrobial genes in air. Nature Scientific Reports.

Air Pollution Built Environment and Urbanization

The impact of green spaces, urban settings, seasonal changes, and pollutants on dissemination of antimicrobial genes in air. Nature Scientific Reports.

UHIs may be a reservoir of ARGs in urban air, hence, planting non-allergenic trees and bushes or hedgerows could be an effective way to decrease the dissemination of aerosolised ARGs.

Air Pollution Land Use and Land Cover Change

Assessing air pollutant removal and carbon sequestration across urban forest stands and individual species in a medium-sized southern Italian city. Environmental Science and Pollution Research.

Urban areas are characterized by elevated levels of air pollution and carbon emissions resulting from human activities. Given the potential of urban forests to mitigate both air pollution and carbon emissions, this study focused on quantifying these ecosystem services in Monte Sant’Antonio’s urban forest, located in Campobasso, Italy.
