How Trees Help Us Breathe

Trees are an effective public health resource that not only improve environmental health but the health of individuals and communities as well. By filtering the air and releasing oxygen, trees play a major role in keeping local air breathable, particularly in cities where pollution can be concentrated. In the worst of cases, poor air quality can restrict people from spending time outdoors or result in long-term health conditions like asthma or other diseases. Reducing the amount of pollution that’s released into the air is an important way to manage air quality, but planting and maintaining lots of tree-filled green space is just as important to the health of our communities.
