Abstract

U današnje vrijeme čovjek 80-90% vremena provodi u zatvorenim prostorima te stoga u njima prisutne onečišćujuće tvari mogu u znatnoj mjeri utjecati na ljudsko zdravlje. Poznato je da biljke mogu učinkovito uklanjati onečišćujuće tvari te tako pozitivno utjecati na kvalitetu zraka. U ovom radu opisani su mehanizmi fitoremedijacije onečišćujućih tvari uobičajenih u zraku zatvorenih prostora (hlapivi organski spojevi, ugljikov dioksid, ugljikov monoksid, dušikovi oksidi, ozon, lebdeće čestice) te učinkovitost odabranih ukrasnih biljnih vrsta za uređenje interijera u njihovu uklanjanju. Za svaku biljnu vrstu navedena su morfološka i uzgojna svojstva te mogućnosti primjene za poboljšanje kvalitete zraka u interijerima.

Abstract (english)

Nowadays people spend 80-90% of time indoors and therefore the pollutants present in indoor air can have a significant impact on human health. It is known that plants can effectively remove pollutants and thus positively affect air quality. In this thesis, the mechanisms of phytoremediation of common indoor air pollutants (volatile organic compounds, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone, particulate matter) are described and the efficiency of their removal is indicated in selected ornamental indoor plant species. For each plant species, the morphological characteristics and growing conditions are described along with the possibilities of their application to improve indoor air quality.
