Finding F-1050

“Cordyline fruticosa and Syngonium podophyllum can reduce TVOC, CO2, CO, PM2.5, and PM10 levels by 87.5%, 88.23%, 36.78%, 100%, and 100%, respectively .A combined application of Cordyline fruticosa and Syngonium podophyllum in Plant-Based Bio-Filters (PBBFs) significantly improved indoor air quality.”

Comparative evaluation of air phytoremediation potential of four ornamental potted plants for ecofriendly biofilter applications (2025). Sci Rep. Page 1. CKB 1482

Structure

Factor: Particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀)
Intervention: Indoor plants (phytoremediation)
Setting: university laboratory, EG
Study design: experiment with four ornamental potted plants as a plant-based biofilter: benzene, toluene, benzaldehyde and acetophenone in an incubation chamber and then indoor air quality parameters measured in a pharmaceutical laboratory with and without the plants, over standardised 40-minute sessions (class 3)
Effect: difference 100
Flags: implausible
Caveat: a complete removal of particles by potted plants cannot be right; taken as printed and flagged
