Health Hazard of Indoor Air Pollution and Plant Purification Technology

Abstract:

Household air pollution mainly falls into five categories: chemical pollution, radiant pollution, physical pollution, biological pollution and air particulate pollution. They do a great damage to human health. The plant purification is drawing wide attention, because it is economical, effective and it also has its ecological function and aesthetic values. Improper methods will cause the second-time pollution, and can hinder the growth of the plants. The core for plant purification is to choose the proper plants and scientific arrangement. Plants were chosen according to the function of the room, the composition of the pollutant, the ecological habits. The shade plants were mainly selected, together with the heliophilous ones. The plants to release oxygen during the day were combined with the ones during the night. The implement of plant purification technology is based on the scientific nursing of plants. The plants were nourished according to the ecological habits of appropriate sunshine, temperature and ventilation.
