ABSTRACT = {Nature has its own astonishing capabilities to cleanse polluted environment. Living green drapes on buildings look elegant providing sustainable 
solutions in congested metropolises. VIT University promotes green values within the country. The walls of a subway connecting the main campus 
and hostel premises are draped with <i>Vernonia elaeagnifolia</i>, which was found to be efficient in capturing vehicular pollution. An experimental study 
established deposition patterns of pollutants. Thereafter, diffusive uptake modelling elucidated the mechanistic details of mass transport through the 
plant tissues. It is expected that the results of this paper will promote the use of green facades within built environment.},
