Resumen

This research aims to establish the relationship between particulate matter and the efficiency of atmospheric phytoremediation in urban spaces, the study has a quantitative approach, non-experimental design, correlational type and descriptive depth-correlative. The correlation was low positive for fine and coarse particulate matter. At laboratory level, gravimetric analysis and washing with deionised water and chloroform were the most used methods by the authors, it is concluded that the species studied are mostly trees and have deciduous leaves highlighting the species Sabina chinensis (275.10 μg/cm-2) that adsorbs higher PM2.5, Pinus sylvestris L. (417.50 μg/cm-2) adsorbs higher amount of PM10.
