How walls of moss could help reduce urban air pollution – BBC News
Air pollution poses a major threat to both our health and the health of the climate, killing an estimated 7 million people a year, according to the World Health Organization.
But a company in Germany is developing mats made of moss which can absorb pollution particles, allowing cleaner air to be released.
Green City Solutions combine moss’s natural filtering properties with technology that monitors environmental conditions, like moisture, humidity and temperature.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

Isn’t fine particle just standing on outer coat of the leave? If it’s at their max capacity how do you know and sure that it is pm 2.5 not pm10? What about frequency you clean the moss

Moss eats pollution surely not. moss may live on some dirt or nitrates etc in the air I suppose it depends on what you call a pollutant not clear here. Moss cools the atmosphere ? any wet surface cools the atmosphere. Moss looks nice yes I agree .
@frederickbowdler8169

Blowing warm air over damp moss cools the air down surely not wouldn't that cool down the moss by latent heat of evaporation I don't think moss is the big factor here unless you mean the large surface area of the moss helps evaporation take place.

Not sure if any of science mentioned was clear surely an electric motor or wind generator driving a large filters would remove a lot with plants mopping up the rest moss seems to like environment which it likes IE it won't grow every where.maybe we can use moss as a filter media live or dead?

Suggestion: Track crime if these moss walls are used extensively.
Stats show that unexpectedly and very oddly planting trees reduces. crime.
