Phytoremediation of particulate matter from indoor air by Chlorophytum comosum L. plants
Higher plants, including spider plants, are able to take up and degrade/detoxify various pollutants in the air. Although nearly 120 plant species have been tested for indoor air phytoremediation, to the best of the authors' knowledge, data on particulate matter (PM) phytoremediation from indoor air are not yet available in literature. This work determined the ability of spider plants to take up...
متن کاملAssessment of Indoor-Outdoor Particulate Matter Air Pollution: A Review
Background: Air pollution is a major global environmental risk factor. Since people spend most of their time indoors, the sole measure of outdoor concentrations is not sufficient to assess total exposure to air pollution. Therefore, the arising interest by the international community to indoor-outdoor relationships has led to the development of various techniques for the study of emission and e...
متن کاملInvestigation of Suspended and Settled Particulate Matter in Indoor Air"
Particulate matter is a natural part of the atmosphere, where the solid or liquid particles are suspended in the air. These suspended particles, also known as suspended particulate matter represents a dispersion aerosol system. In the air there are many types of microscopic airborne particles originated from both natural and anthropogenic processes, such as atmospheric clouds of water droplets,...
متن کاملDetoxification of Formaldehyde by the Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum L.) and by Soybean (Glycine max L.) Cell-Suspension Cultures.
The phytotoxicity of formaldehyde for spider plants (Chlorophytum comosum L.), tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv Bel B and Bel W3), and soybean (Glycine max L.) cell-suspension cultures was found to be low enough to allow metabolic studies. Spider plant shoots were exposed to 7.1 [mu]L L-1 (8.5 mg m-3) gaseous [14C]-formaldehyde over 24 h. Approximately 88% of the recovered radioactivity ...
متن کاملParticulate matter in the indoor air of classrooms—exploratory results from Munich and surrounding area
Numerous epidemiological studies have demonstrated the association between particle mass (PM) concentration in outside air and the occurrence of health related problems and/or diseases. However, much less is known about indoor PM concentrations and associated health risks. In particular, data are needed on air quality in schools, since children are assumed to be more vulnerable to health hazard...
