“…The results confirmed the previous findings that spider plants have a very strong capacity to remove formaldehyde from the air [2]. Moreover, Jian Li et al [46] showed that C. comosum had the strongest resistance to formaldehyde as compared to other varieties of this species.…”

Chlorophytum comosum L. plants are known to effectively absorb air pollutants, including formaldehyde (HCHO). Since the metabolic and defense responses of C. comosum to HCHO are poorly understood, in the present study, biochemical changes in C. comosum leaves induced by 48 h exposure to exogenous HCHO, applied as 20 mg m−3, were analyzed. The observed changes showed that HCHO treatment caused no visible harmful effects on C. comosum leaves and seemed to be effectively metabolized by this plant. HCHO application caused no changes in total chlorophyll (Chl) and Chl a content, increased Chl a/b ratio, and decreased Chl b and carotenoid content. HCHO treatment affected sugar metabolism, towards the utilization of sucrose and synthesis or accumulation of glucose, and decreased activities of aspartate and alanine aminotransferases, suggesting that these enzymes do not play any pivotal role in amino acid transformations during HCHO assimilation. The total phenolic content in leaf tissues did not change in comparison to the untreated plants. The obtained results suggest that HCHO affects nitrogen and carbohydrate metabolism, effectively influencing photosynthesis, shortly after plant exposure to this volatile compound. It may be suggested that the observed changes are related to early HCHO stress symptoms or an early step of the adaptation of cells to HCHO treatment. The presented results confirm for the first time the direct influence of short time HCHO exposure on the studied parameters in the C. comosum plant leaf tissues.

“…Plants close their stomata to limit the entry of formaldehyde and tolerate its stress(Kvesitadze et al 2006;Kim et al 2013). Similarly, leaf damage has also been well documented in various plants under formaldehyde stress(Kim et al 2013;Nian et al 2013;Li et al 2021). VOCs are known to impart deleterious effects on the basic physiological processes of plants along with damage to cell ultrastructures(Yoo et al 2006).The physiological processes of C. comosum were signi cantly affected by formaldehyde application in the current study.…”

Formaldehyde is a prominent volatile organic compound and also considered an indoor air pollutant. Chlorophytum comosum, an indoor plant, has been reported to metabolize indoor formaldehyde. But the phytotoxic effects of formaldehyde, being a pollutant, on C. comosum is not well explored. Furthermore, C. comocum responses that can be considered as markers at the physiological and biochemical level against formaldehyde stress are not yet investigated. Therefore, the current research study was aimed to evaluate such potential markers against formaldehyde in C. comosum. Briefly, C. comosum was exposed to 5, 10, and 20 ppm formaldehyde doses in an airtight glass chamber. Plant samples were then taken to analyze morpho-anatomical, physiological, and biochemical responses after short (2, 4, and 6 hours), medium (12 and 24 hours) and extended durations (48 and 96 hours) for each tested dose. Two-ways ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test at p ≤ 0.05 indicated that application of 10 and 20 ppm formaldehyde doses led to a significant incline in enzymatic antioxidants like CAT, GPX and SOD, and non-enzymatic parameters including TPC, TFC, T-AOC, carotenoids and intercellular CO2. However, formaldehyde application negatively affected the physiological responses of C. comosum by reducing its photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate and stomatal conductance. Additionally, extended exposure of C. comosum to 10 and 20 ppm formaldehyde doses led to visible leaf damage. Principal Component Analysis indicated that enzymatic (SOD, CAT and GPX) and non-enzymatic (MDA, TPC, TFC, TAO, carotenoids, TSS and intercellular CO2) parameters contributed the most to the total variance. Thus, these parameters have potential to serve as physiological and biochemical markers in C. comosum against formaldehyde stress.

“…It can purify indoor air by absorbing carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, xylene and many other harmful gases. In addition, these plants are non-toxic and safe for pets and children [57]. A Spider plant can survive in the ideal conditions with the light intensity of 2000 to 4000Lux, the temperature of 24 to 26 °C and air humidity: 40 to 60%.…”

Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) has developed a positive relationship with human health risks. Recently, research findings reported that the pollution level of indoor air could be 2 – 5 times higher than the outdoor air. In some studies, the poor IAQ could reach up to 100 times or more in a natural/ mechanical ventilated building. IAQ depends heavily on the ambient air quality and pollutants/ contaminants produced by household activities. Poor IAQ could lead to various health issues, i.e., asthma, lung cancer, dizziness, fatigue, headaches, etc. One of the possible solutions to overcome the poor IAQ problem is the utilisation of indoor botanical to improve the IAQ. The phytoremediation of botanical is an affordable and environmentally friendly approach to purify the polluted indoor air. Although there is no established recommendation for determining the best indoor botanical in improving the IAQ, many studies have revealed the ability of specific indoor botanicals to remove pollutants/ contaminants. This paper presents the bibliometric analysis and short review based on 79 publications issued in 2011 – 2021. Those articles were extracted from the Web of Science database. Based on the analysis, the number of publications has increased significantly starting from the year 2017. Indoor Air was identified as one of the top productive journals for this research topic.
