High concentration of particulate matter (PM) threatens public health and the environment. Increasing traffic in city is one main factors for increased PM air. Urban green spaces play an important role reducing PM. In this study, leaf surface in-wax (sPM wPM) accumulation were compared 11 plant species widely used landscaping South Korea. addition, biochemical characteristics leaves (ascorbic acid chlorophyll content, pH, relative water content) analyzed to determine air pollution tolerance....

Background and objective: Particulate matter (PM) is one of the serious environmental problems threatens human health. Plants can clean air by removing PM from atmosphere. This study was carried out to investigate removal efficiency 12 species woody plants.Methods: Actinidia arguta, Dendropanax morbiferus, Fraxinus rhynchophylla, Parthenocissus tricuspidata, Pittosporum tobira, Rhaphiolepis indica, Rhapis, Salix integra, koreensis, Schisandra chinensis, Viburnum odoratissimum var. awabuki,...

Background and objective Particulate matter (PM) has a fatal effect on health. There have been many studies the use of plants such as trees shrubs eco-friendly sustainable biofilter for removal PM. In forming more green space, ground cover play an important role in multi-layered planting. This study was conducted to investigate ability reduce PM, targeting Korean native with high availability urban spaces. Methods For 4 species Asteraceae, Liliaceae, 3 Rosaceae, one at time were placed...

This study investigated the effect of light intensity on removal particulate matter by <italic>Dieffenbachia amoena</italic> 'Marianne' and <italic>Spathiphyllum</italic> spp.. An acrylic chamber (600×800×1200mm, L×W×H) modeled as an indoor space a green bio-filter (495×495×1000mm, air purification device were made acrylic. The PM10 PM1, photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, number stomata spp. measured according to three different levels (0, 30 60...

In this study, we investigated the physiological responses and particulate matter (PM) abatement adsorption of three plants: Ardisia crenata, japonica, Maesa to determine their effectiveness as indoor air purification. When compared control (without plants), PM was significantly rapidly decreased by all plants. The reduction in varied species, with A. crenata being most effective, followed closely finally M. japonica. japonica showed highest rate photosynthesis transpiration, generating...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the utility an ornamental plant, Spathiphyllum spp., as a plant-microbial fuel cell (Plant MFC) produce voltage and current. This also evaluated effect Plant MFC on water use efficiency plant growth. experiment used four experimental groups: without (Soil MFC), with unused Pot), Pot). generated higher current levels than Soil MFC. average 0.475 V 0.375 V, respectively, 0.110 mA 0.030 mA, respectively. using spp. produced constant output,...

The objective of this study was to analyze the effects calcium chloride (CaCl2) used as a de-icing agent on growth and physiological responses three ground cover plants, Hosta longipes, Iris ensata, pseudacorus. CaCl2 concentration set be 0 mM (control), 9 (0.1%), 18 (0.2%), 54 (0.6%). After treatment with for 3 months, plant heights, fresh weights shoots roots, photosynthetic rates, chlorophyll fluorescence, content (SPAD), leaf water potential were measured. longipes treated 60 days,...

Background and objective Particulate matter (PM) has a serious impact on health. Recently, studies are conducted to reduce PM in an environmentally friendly way using plants. This study investigated the physiological responses of plants their ability remove by continuously spraying different sources (loam, fly ash, carbon black) four native plant species, such as &lt;italic&gt;Iris sanguinea&lt;/italic&gt;, &lt;italic&gt;Pteris multifida&lt;/italic&gt;, &lt;italic&gt;Vitis...
