This means that in total green grass of Kayseri Light Rail System produces oxigen of the 68,000 human in one day.

Impacts

Addition to this: 1 m2 green grass equal to 100 m2 leaf area. This means that depending on wind 0,2-2kg/m2 dust can be absorbed by green grass.

These two parameters shows the positive effect of green track on environment.
