Abstract: Urbanization reduces microbiological abundance and diversity, which has been associated with immune mediated diseases. Urban greening may be used as a prophylactic method to restore microbiological diversity in cities and among urbanites. This study evaluated the impact of air-circulating green walls on bacterial abundance and diversity on human skin, and on immune responses determined by blood cytokine measurements. Human subjects working in offices in two Finnish cities (Lahti and Tampere) participated in a … Show more

“…In Finland, improved contact with natural elements in the day care yard enriched the human microbiota in 4 weeks having a favorable effect on immunological markers 46 . A 2 weeks indoor exposure to green walls had also a positive effect 50 . Recent observations from Italy indicate that low environmental vegetation index is a risk factor for uncontrolled asthma in children 58 .…”
