Journal Article
Freer-Smith, P., Tallis, M., Taylor, G., & Sinnett, D. (2011). Estimating the removal of atmospheric particulate pollution by the urban tree canopy of London, under current and future environments. Landscape and Urban Planning, 103(2), 129-138. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landurbplan.2011.07.003

Urban green space and particularly the tree canopy have been highlighted as offering a mitigation potential against atmospheric particulate pollution. In this paper current and future particulate (PM10) deposition to the urban tree canopy of the Grea...

Journal Article
Sinnett, D., Lawrence, V. K., Hutchings, T. R., & Hodson, M. E. (2011). Plants growing on contaminated and brownfield sites appropriate for use in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development terrestrial plant growth test.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) terrestrial plant test is often used for the ecological risk assessment of contaminated land. However, its origins in plant protection product testing mean that the species recommended...
