Description
Wanting Li and co-authors expose a moss to formaldehyde gas in this study. The head of the text dates the work to 2024. Formaldehyde leaks from building materials into indoor air, where it raises health concerns. Mosses are candidate cleaners for such pollution, but the gas may harm the plant itself.
Plants sat in sealed chambers with daily eight-hour fumigation for a week. The gas damaged plant structure and cut green pigment levels. Photosynthesis efficiency fell while harmful oxygen byproducts rose inside the tissue. Response pathways differed between low and moderate doses. The results show both the promise and the limits of moss as a living air filter for indoor spaces.
