N2 - Using green biofilters can help eliminate air pollutants and improve urban air quality. In the current study, Prunus × Yedoensis capacity of phytoremediation was investigated as a bio filter of Particulate matter (PM) in spring and summer seasons in Japan. Two samples were analysed to extract three fractions of PM (coarse, fine and ultra-fine). Results showed lower deposition of PM in spring season with total of 20.2 μg.cm-2 and high proportion for fine fraction (2.5-10μm), comparing with summer season which showed a higher deposition of PM with total of 31.9 μg.cm-2. Ultra-fine fraction (0.2–2.5μm) recorded the highest values with a percentage of 23.9% of the total PM deposition. Leaf micromorphological characteristics such as, rough surface and serrated margin can enhance the Prunus × Yedoensis ability of particulate matter accretion. This study confirms that vegetation has an efficient role in improving the quality of urban air. Further structural analysis should be included to deepen the understanding of phytoremediation phenomena in plants.
