Forest could greatly reduces air pollution carried by wind (wind vector field could get a multiplier depending on tree density).
It would add an extra layer of option when considering industrial zoning.

Definitely! We need a way to mitigate the airpolution. There’s currently no way that I know of
heady matrix
does it not do that already? afaik that's how it used to function in CS1
brave ravine
Don’t think so, have placed a forest between the factories and the residential, but did not notice any difference
zealous tangle
Yeah I had no result neither
glass birch
jup its not working like in CS1, same with noise pollution is not removed by trees
so much stuffs missing in the game that they i think they know about esp from the streamers

I think you're thinking of SimCity4
zealous tangle
Yeah, in SC4, trees are helping with both air and noise pollution iirc

I think more than reducing air pollution (which they should to an extent, but...), forests should do what they do in real life which is slow wind speed, which in turn reduces the spread of air pollution (and wind turbine effectiveness)
