“…The other sources of dust pollution are traffic, usually with increased heavy metal content (Ram et al, 2014;Jandacka et al, 2017;Budai and Clement, 2018), and as in all European countries, the Saharan dust (Borbély-Kiss et al, 1999, 2004Varga et al, 2013;Varga and Roettig, 2018). Based on dust adsorption of tree leaves, it was found that trees also act as sediment traps for urban dust (Braun et al, 2007;Molnár et al, 2018;Varga et al, 2019) and are good indicators of dust pollution level due to physiological responses . As tree species adsorb dust in their leaves differently, according to the different number of leaves and the roughness of their surface (Simon et al, 2014), mapping the tree species composition can help in the selection of appropriate species in the planning of urban green infrastructure.…”
