Question

Explain how trees help maintain air quality.

Answer 1

Trees help maintain air quality by removing particles from the air. Trees remove a significant amount of carbon dioxide from the air. They also remove ozone and particulates that accumulate in the air. In addition to removing these particles, trees release oxygen back into the air. By removing carbon dioxide and returning oxygen, trees help maintain the balance between these gases in the atmosphere, replenishing the oxygen removed by organisms and removing the carbon dioxide released by organisms.
