Abstract
Greenbelt is a strip of vegetation for which species of trees and shrubs are scientifically chosen and planted to serve a designated purpose such as control of wind erosion, of dust, of noise etc. In the context of air pollution attenuation, greenbelts must be developed around a source of air pollutant in a manner so as to effectively reduce the pollution caused by that source. Design of effective greenbelts involves consideration of meteorological, physico-chemical, biological, and horticultural aspects relevant to pollutant source and the area where greenbelt has to be established. These authors have recently developed mathematical models for effective design of greenbelts. This paper presents an overview of the methodology based on the models, and describes a case study in which the methodology has been applied to design a greenbelt for a real-life situation.
