Removal of benzene from indoor air by Dracaena sanderiana: Effect of wax and stomata
Abstract From screening 8 ornamental plants, it was found that Dracaena sanderiana had the highest benzene removal efficiency. In a long-term study, 4 cycles of benzene were studied under both 24 h dark and 24 h light conditions. From the 2nd to 4th cycle, benzene uptake by plants under 24 h light condition had higher intensity than under 24 h dark conditions, and the close of D. sanderiana stomata was found only in 24 h dark condition. At the final cycle, D. sanderiana still survived, and benzene uptake continued. From the calculation, 46% of benzene was taken up by D. sanderiana crude wax, while 54% was predicted to be taken up by the stomata by 72 h.
