Pothos Plants and their Ability to Decrease CO2 Concentrations – Spring Final
June 14, 2011In recent years, indoor air quality has been increasingly recognized as a crucial aspect of sustainable building design. Americans spend close to 90% of their time indoors, where the air can be up to 12 times more polluted than outdoor air (Dockery, 1981). The pollutants affecting indoor air quality are primarily from building emissions, human activity within the building and infiltration of contaminated outdoor air (Pennisi, 2009). Even at imperceptible levels, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, molds, dust and gas appliance emissions can cause “building-related illness,” which includes symptoms of sore eyes, nausea and headache and has been linked to decreased productivity and increased sick days (Carrer, 1999; Tarran 2007). Certain plants can serve as natural air filters for many of these pollutants, but all plants are capable of decreasing indoor carbon dioxide levels via their photosynthetic process. Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of many varieties of plants to mitigate both carbon dioxide and volatile organic compounds.
