[CANUFNET] Quantifying the Health Benefits to Canadians of our Urban Forest

[John McNeil via CANUFNET]

Greetings:

I am passing along a paper by Dr. David Nowak et al.

First time I’ve read statistics about the health impacts to Canadians on the avoidance of human mortality/incidences of acute respiratory symptoms due to trees.

"Though future research and modeling are needed to help overcome current limitations, these estimates provide the best available and most comprehensive estimates of pollution removal effects by city trees on human health in Canada.”

I spoke with Dr. Nowak and he gave me this link to share: https://www.fs.usda.gov/treesearch/pubs/55473

Sincerely,


John
