The global issue of air pollution calls for ingenious and effective solutions. In response, countries like Germany, Spain, and France have implemented green infrastructures such as green roofs and walls to enhance both meteorological conditions and air quality in urban areas with limited natural vegetation. There's a debate about whether dense vegetation can act as a barrier that blocks air flow and accumulates pollutants. To address this, a study was conducted in San Juan de Lurigancho using the ENVI-met model. The analysis covered 16 blocks around a SENAMHI meteorological station, assessing how green roofs and walls influenced local weather and traffic conditions. The study determined that optimal vegetation coverage does not necessarily need to cover 100% of the building, and for buildings taller than 10 meters, green roofs have minimal impact due to their limited interaction with pollution sources. It was found that vegetation on buildings increased the average concentration of atmospheric pollutants by 0.5%. However, it was also noted that sections with more green areas captured 1% more pollutants than areas without vegetation, showing a balance between increase and capture of pollutants, which highlights the importance of integrating green infrastructure strategies. This study underscores the need to tailor green infrastructure solutions to the specific conditions of each urban environment to optimize air quality benefits, highlighting the complexity of vegetation effects and the importance of a careful approach when implementing these strategies in urban zones.
