dc.description.abstract | Currently, the population spends most of the time in indoor environments, which makes Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
very important for health and comfort. As vegetation can act as a biofilter capturing air pollutants, this study
aims to assess the effectiveness of a living wall module in the removal of the Total Volatile Organic Compounds
(TVOCs) for IAQ improvement. An airtight glass chamber was used to release contaminants, monitoring the
TVOCs both with the chamber empty (control) and with a small Fytotextile® living wall module planted with
Nephrolepis exaltata L. A substantial reduction of TVOCs was observed when the living wall was inside the
chamber. In few hours, TVOCs levels were reduced below the recommended limit (following Spanish regulations). More tests are recommended considering different plant species and other variables related to the IAQ. | es |
