So… Trees sucks in co2 and release o2 during day…. and doing the other way around at night… how would that help cleaning up air pollution then?

Call me stupid but I was told that while yes, Trees does absorb CO2 form the air and give Oxygen back during daytime. There’s also a reason to not have tree in your enclosed bedroom during night as it release all the CO2 absorbed.

So my question was that people are saying to plant tree to help purify the air in streets, city, or any dense population location. If the statement in first paragraph’s correct. wouldn’t that just result in that the trees would give the o2 and purify the air during day time and just flood the street with co2 during night? I’m confused…

You’re not realizing co2 isn’t a pollutant, it’s not even harmful. Reduced oxygen levels can be dangerous, but unless you’re in a sealed off room for days at a clip the tree will barely change levels at all.

Consider a jungle, there’s billions of plants sucking up oxygen and dispersing co2, but it’s far better for you than a city with no plants at all.
