Trees help improve air quality by mitigating air pollution & greenhouse gases: Most trees use photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into nutrients. The leaves clean the air in your surroundings by removing dust and other unwanted particles. They absorb carbon dioxide from the air to form carbohydrates that are used in the plant's structure and function. This process helps reduce the amount of CO2 in the air which is a greenhouse gas, which could otherwise contribute to smog and unhealthy conditions.
