Traffic-related air pollutants are a significant public health
concern near freeways. Previous studies have suggested that
soundwall and/or vegetation barriers (defined here as any
substantial installation of vegetation on either side of the
sound barrier, trees or tall bushes etc.) may reduce near-freeway
air pollution, but the literature is inconsistent, and data for
vegetation and other conditions common in California are very
limited. This research project combined mobile and stationary
measurement and modeling approaches to evaluate the impact of
various barrier configurations at four sites in California, and
made pair-wise comparisons of the following configurations: no
wall, sound wall only, vegetation only, and combined
soundwall-vegetation combinations (eight study locations in
total, each with a perpendicular transect). Chosen study sites
were located along major highways in Santa Monica, Encino,
Sacramento and Riverside, and if present, trees were
substantially taller than the solid barriers. Three of these
sites were chosen as test sites for daytime conditions
(Sacramento, Encino and Riverside) and one was chosen for
nighttime and early morning conditions (Santa Monica). For more
