Abstract

Two indoor plants (Schefflera octophylla and Chamaedorea elegans) were selected for testing the removal characteristics of five carbonyl at the laboratory simulation environment of short-term exposure to different low light intensities.The results showed that under normal circumstances the C1-C5 aldehyde removal rates of Schefflera octophylla and Chamaedorea elegans were ranged from 0.311 mol/m2/s for valeraldehyde to 0.677 mol/m2/s for formaldehyde, and 0.526 mol/m2/s for propionaldehyde to 1.440 mol/m2/s for formaldehyde, respectively. However, when the light intensities varied from 0 to 80 mol/m2/s, a significant correlation between the aldehydes removal rate and the light intensity was found with the removal efficiency of above plant species ranged from 1.018 to 3.519 and ranged from 0.765 to 4.909 mol/m2/s for the total carbonyls (C1-C5 aldehydes), respectively. Consequently, different light intensities may have a positive effect on the removal of indoor gaseous carbonyls pollutants by indoor plants, and to maximize the improvement of indoor air quality, screening plant species with higher removal efficiency on VOCs were needed.
