Abstract

In urban area people spend more than 90 percent of their time in indoors environment. All of these are made worse in small or poorly-ventilated spaces (like maybe your apartment with that window that you accidentally painted shut last year). Researchers find that indoor air can emit contaminants like formaldehyde, xylene, benzene; ozone etc. as outdoor air contaminants like car exhaust finds its way into buildings. These cause serious health problem to mankind. NASA scientists have been research to overcome these problem and they find that cheapest, greenest solution for cleaning of contaminated indoor air in urban environment is plants. A beautiful potted plant is much more attractive and discrete than our average air filter. They enhance the look and feel of our home or office. This study has been focus on indoor plants and their air cleaning abilities.
