How Do Trees Help Clean the Air?

Trees help clean the air by breathing in carbon dioxide and breathing out oxygen, just like humans do, but they also catch dust, smoke, and other tiny particles that make the air dirty. Think of them as giant, living sponges! When a tree takes in air through its leaves, it traps all those little bits of dirt and pollution inside. It’s like when you blow into a balloon, it fills up with air and stuff inside. Trees do this every day to help keep our air clean.
