Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) is a well known risk to human health. Vehicular traffic is one of the major sources of particulates in an urban setting. Here we study a problem of road dust dispersion. Using CFD solver based on RANS equations, we investigate the effect of a vegetation barrier on the concentration of airborne PM induced by road traffic. Simplified 2D model of a porous obstacle adjacent to a road source of PM2.5 and PM10 serves as an idealization of a real-world situation.
