An abundance of scientific studies points to evidence that indoor environmental quality (IEQ) has a direct effect on health, comfort, wellbeing and productivity. Considering that people spend a large amount of their time indoors, it is crucial that building legislation ensures sufficient levels of IEQ to promote healthy and comfortable indoor environments.

The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of S.trifasciatavar.laurentii (variegated snake plant) on indoor environment. The results showed experimental room with three pots of S.trifasciatavar.laurentii was 1.6% higher in the room air relative humidity, 0.997℃ lower in temperature, 15.5% lower in PM2.5 concen-tration, 16.4% lower in PM10 concentration than the control room.
