Significant Role of Ornamental Plants as Air Purifiers – A Review

Can ornamental potted plants remove volatile organic compounds from indoor air? A review.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are found in indoor air, and many of these can affect human health (e.g. formaldehyde and benzene are carcinogenic). Plants affect the levels of VOCs in indoor environments, thus they represent a potential green solution for improving indoor air quality that at the same time can improve human health. This article reviews scientific studies of plants' ability to...

Pulmonary Effects of Ozone -generating Air Purifiers

Air purifiers are marketed to asthmatics and others to improve breathing. However, some air purifiers emit harmful ozone—a key component of smog. This study examines the hypothesis that ozone-generating air purifiers and other household devices that generate ozone may have a negative effect on pulmonary function.

A review of the role and importance of essential fatty acids in the feeding of ornamental fish

Ornamental fish farming, like other aquaculture productions, it depends on the quality and quantity of egg production, hatching, fecundity and survival of the larvae. In general, every step of aquaculture, followed by nutritional goals. Most of these studies are in the stages of larval growth. Because the highest costs are imposed on aquaculture and the most critical biological period of orname...

Plants as Bioreactors- A Review

Ever since the discovery of genetic manipulation and the establishment of various methods for effective transformation of cells, the use of plants as an expression system for the production of recombinant therapeutic proteins have been advocated. This has been an exciting as well as controversial concept. Plants produce large biomass hence plants can produce large quantities of recombinant prot...
