Abstract

During the construction of buildings and interior decoration, even in the manufacture of home furniture and kitchen appliances, dangerous chemicals such as benzene, formaldehyde, and others are used, which accumulate indoors during the operation of the building. Scientists have found that when high concentrations are reached, these substances can harm human health. In this article, we analyzed the possible impact of green walls on improving the condition of indoor air. During the research, five different systems and plant species were considered. Then the relationship between the leaf area, the structure of the system, and the degree of absorption of harmful substances was described. The results showed that a green wall system can improve the quality of urban air and bring a lot of benefits for the citizens.
