Finding F-1223
“Although formaldehyde failed in performing various tendencies in its indoor concentration by indoor plant placement, BTEX succeeded in showing significant differences in their indoor concentrations according to placement.”
Structure
- Factor
- Formaldehyde (CH₂O)
- Intervention
- Indoor plants (phytoremediation)
- Population
- asthmatics and their households
- Setting
- home, KR
- Study design
- quasi-experimental study in the homes of asthmatics in Korea over two observation terms: households of continuation kept the indoor plants for both terms, households of withdrawal kept them for the first term and passed the second without any plants; formaldehyde and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene were measured indoors, with peak expiratory flow rate twice a day and an asthma-specific quality of life questionnaire, compared with the Mann-Whitney test (class 3)
- Caveat
- the sentence is the study's statement that the plants made no difference to formaldehyde; the direction of the difference it reports for the other compounds is not stated in the sentence, so a sibling row from the abstract carries it
