Background,aim,and scope Owing to the rapid development of modernisation and urbanisation,living standards have gradually improved.However,the widespread use of high-energy-consuming indoor appliances and furniture has made indoor environments a primary environmental problem affecting human health.Sick building syndrome(SBS)and building-related illness(BRI)have occurred,and indoor air conditions have been extensively studied.Common indoor pollutants include CO,CO_(2),volatile organic compounds(VOCs)(such as the formaldehyde and benzene series),NOx(NO and NO_(2)),and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs).VOCs have replaced SO_(2)as the“The Fourteenth Five-Year Plan”urban air quality assessment new indicators.Indoor VOCs can cause diseases such as cataract,asthma,and lung cancer.To protect human health,researchers have proposed several indoor air purification technologies,including adsorption,filtration,electrostatic dust removal,ozonation,and plant purification.However,each technology has drawbacks,such as high operating costs,high energy consumption,and the generation of secondary waste or toxic substances.Plant degradation of VOCs as a bioremediation technology has the characteristics of low cost,high efficiency,and sustainability,thereby becoming a potential green solution for improving indoor air quality.This study introduces the research status and mechanism of plant removal of indoor VOCs and provides an experimental basis and scientific guidance for analysing the mechanism of plant degradation of pollutants.Materials and methods This study reviews studies on the harm caused by indoor pollutants to human health and related sources,mainly investigating the degradation of indoor formaldehyde,BTEX(benzene,toluene,ethylbenzene,and xylene)plant mechanisms,and research results.Results Plants can remove VOCs via stomatal and non-stomatal adsorption,interfoliar microbial,rhizosphere microbial,and growth media.Benzene,toluene,and xylene(BTX)are adsorbed by pores,hydroxylated into fumaric acid,and then removed in
目的:探究室内总挥发性有机物(total volatile organic compounds,TVOC)短期暴露与年轻女性夜间心率变异性(heart rate variability,HRV)的关联。方法:采用定组研究设计,于2021年12月至2022年4月期间对北京市某高校50名年轻女性进行两次重复调查。每次调查期间,使用室内空气质量检测仪对研究对象室内TVOC浓度进行实时监测。室内温湿度、噪声、二氧化碳和颗粒物浓度分别采用温湿度仪、噪声监测仪、二氧化碳仪及多通道颗粒物监测仪进行实时监测,并采用12导联动态心电图仪测量HRV指标。采用混合效应模型分析TVOC与HRV指标的关联及暴露-反应关系,并使用双污染物模型检验结果的稳定性。结果:50名女性的平均年龄为(22.5±2.3)岁,平均体重指数为(20.4±1.9)kg/m^(2)。研究期间室内TVOC浓度的中位数(四分位间距)为0.069(0.046)mg/m^(3),室内温度、相对湿度、二氧化碳浓度、噪声水平及细颗粒物浓度的中位数(四分位间距)分别为24.3(2.7)℃、38.5%(15.0%)、0.1%(0.1%)、52.7(5.8)dB(A)及10.3(21.5)μg/m^(3)。室内TVOC短期暴露与研究对象HRV的时域及频域指标改变显著相关,且多数HRV指标发生最显著改变的暴露时间窗为1 h。室内TVOC的1 h滑动平均浓度每增加0.01 mg/m^(3),研究对象心跳间期标准偏差(standard deviation of all normal to normal intervals,SDNN)、连续5 min心跳间期平均标准偏差(standard deviation of average normal to normal intervals,SDANN)及相邻心跳差值超过50 ms与总正常心跳间距个数比值(percentage of adjacent normal to normal intervals differing by more than 50 ms,pNN50)分别降低1.89%(95%CI:-2.28%~-1.50%)、1.92%(95%CI:-2.32%~-1.51%)及0.64%(95%CI:-1.13%~-0.14%),而总功率(total power,TP)、极低频功率(very low frequency power,VLF)及低频功率(low frequency power,LF)分别降低3.52%(95%CI:-4.30%~-2.74%)、5.01%(95%CI:-6.21%~-3.79%)及4.36%(95%CI:-5.16%~-3.55%)。暴露-反应关系曲线显示,当浓度
