Due to anthropogenic activity on a worldwide scale, large quantities of particulate matter (PM) and heavy metals are collected in the air, water, and soil. Heavy metals (including cadmium, copper, lead, chromium, zinc, and nickel) accumulate up as a result of industrial processes such mining, smelting, refining, manufacturing, and excessive fertiliser uses in farmers‘ field. Among the various strategies employed to mitigate pollution, the use of tree species has gained attention due to their potential to absorb and remove pollutants from the air, soil, and water. By accumulating hazardous compounds, plants are a vital part of the environment's cleaning process.An efficient and widely accepted method for reducing pollutants and improving the environment is to plant trees and plants. For bioremediation of urban environmental pollution, careful planning and planting should be done. Depending on the amount and kind of pollution, it is important to choose pollution-tolerant and dust-scavenging trees and bushes.One such mitigation strategy is agroforestry (the common production of both plants and trees), avenue planting, vertical garden, and urban greening etc.The paper highlights the importance of selecting suitable tree species based on specific pollutant types and environmental conditions. Overall, this review contributes to the understanding of the role of tree species in pollution management and provides valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners.

Introduction Pollution is the most serious worldwide issue.With the rapid expansion in urbanisation, industrialization, and population growth over the past few decades, there has been a sharp increase in the pollutants of the air, water and soil pollution (Kirthika and Vishnuprasad, 2021).Urban landscapes that are sustainable and healthful are becoming more crucial for human well-being, including human health, ecosystems, climate, and visibility (Chen et al. 2019),is now a days one of the main atmospheric pollution problems, and it is getting worse due to urban population growth, rising traffic density, and industry (Gulia et al. 2015). Pollution management is a critical global challenge that demands effective and sustainable solutions. Among the various strategies employed to combat pollution, the utilization of tree species has emerged as a promising approach due to their inherent ability to absorb and remove
