These vegetated surfaces don’t just look pretty. They have other benefits as well, including cooling city blocks, reducing loud noises, and improving a building’s energy efficiency.What’s more, a recent modeling study shows that green walls can potentially reduce large amounts of air pollution in what’s called a “street canyon,” or the corridor between tall buildings.
For the study, Thomas Pugh, a biogeochemist at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, and his colleagues created a computer model of a green wall with generic vegetation in a Western European city. Then they recorded chemical reactions based on a variety of factors, such as wind speed and building placement.
The simulation revealed a clear pattern: A green wall in a street canyon trapped or absorbed large amounts of nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter—both pollutants harmful to people, said Pugh. Compared with reducing emissions from cars, little attention has been focused on how to trap or take up more of the pollutants, added Pugh, whose study was published last year in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.
That’s why the green-wall study is “putting forward an alternative solution that might allow [governments] to improve air quality in these problem hot spots,” he said.Compared with reducing emissions from cars, little attention has been focused on how to trap or take up more of the pollutants, added Pugh, whose study was published last year in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.That’s why the green-wall study is “putting forward an alternative solution that might allow [governments] to improve air quality in these problem hot spots,” he said…

It’s still going on today! Checkit out while you still can. So many awesome and amazing artists were there, and more are coming today I hear. There’s some fun goodies to win through raffle prizes, and cosplay contests. Of course, I didn’t enter cause I don’t know how to cosplay well :P
esdafable asked: Where ya at? I'm going to Meltdown comics tomorrow between 1 and 5 (a friend of mine is being interviewed then for a panel)
Im in Pasadena; tomorrow i had planned on being at the Legend of Korra fanart show called “Im the art show, Deal with it!” (https://www.facebook.com/events/468693909849316) Not sure how long I’ll be there for, (prob most of the day) is gonna be a doozie!!
Damnit this looks more like a lucha libre mask… I dunno… :/
