N2 - Particulate matter (PM) accumulation on the leaves of two trees and two shrubs were examined for 14 days to study the ability of broad leaves to capture particulate matter in Japan. Two healthy mature leaf samples of each specimen were carefully collected and analyzed through the gravimetric analysis method (four filtration steps). PM in different divisions can be captured and deposited inside the leaf foliage. Fine particles were the highest portion of the PM content captured by the analyzed trees. Leaf features such as hair and wax have been associated with high PM accumulation as presented in Toxicodendron succedaneum (waxy glossy leaves) which was the most effective species among the analyzed species for all PM fraction divisions (PM10, PM 2.5, and PM 0.2), and Prunus × yedoensis (hairy leaves) that captured the largest portion of ultra-fine PM. The surface area has no effect on the accumulation of particulate matter since the Ficus erecta shrub has the largest surface area, but the lowest portions of PM among of the investigated species.
