Purification of Indoor Formaldehyde Using Ornamental Plant of Kafirlily

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to solve the indoor air pollution caused by formaldehyde, an ornamental plant of Kafirlily was used to purify the formaldehyde in this paper. By testing the absorbing effect on ornamental in the transparent airtight cabin, the physiological and biochemical parameters such as leaf hurt index and peroxidase (POD) activity were determined. The experimental results showed that the Kafirlily can decline the formaldehyde concentration to a certain degree, the leaves were hurt little, and the POD activity changed markedly. The experiments can indicate that Kafirlily can purify the indoor formaldehyde in certain concentration range with strong tolerant ability and high POD physiological stress responses.
