Abstract

The present investigation entitled “Assessment of Atmospheric Leaf Dust Accumulation of Indoor Plants” was conducted at Greenhouse Complex, ASPEE College of Horticulture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat, during 2021-2022 and 2022-2023. In this study, 20 indoor plants were selected, and the atmospheric leaf dust accumulation was assessed and estimated using experimental design CRD. On the basis of atmospheric leaf dust accumulation Zamioculcas zamiifolia, Epipremnum aureum and Diffenbachia camille were found maximum atmospheric leaf dust accumulation and best for removing fine particles from the indoor environment

Keywords

Dust pollution, indoor plants, urban landscape, indoor pollution, air quality

Conclusion

The indoor plants with leaf dust accumulation have more chances of survival and growth performance, with more indoor air pollution. In the present experiment, indoor plants like The plant species like Zamioculcas zamiifolia, Epipremnum aureum, and Diffenbachia have maximum leaf dust accumulation and are thus capable of removing fine particles from the indoor environment
