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…

Plants consume way _way_ more carbon dioxide than they produce.
“Capturing carbon” isn’t some abstract concept. When you look at a tree, what you’re seeing is basically all the carbon they’ve captured. The leaves, the bark, the wood. Most of that is made of carbohydrates of some sort, and all of the carbon in all of that comes from the carbon dioxide captured by plants.
