Abstract

Copper can be found in various equipment, building materials, and consumer products. When buildings are used, copper can enter wastewater in different ways. It is challenging for occupants to remove copper physically or chemically since they can potentially reduce copper levels through yard phytoarchitecture. This study aims to formulate houseplants' suitability to become decorative plants for the yard phytoarchitecture, simultaneously as onsite sanitation. This study identified the copper deconcentration pathway in wastewater by studying published works-based research. Literature was collected and selected based on recency, accessibility, and the relationship among copper, wastewater, and plants. The study findings show that processing copper by plant has the greatest opportunity to be implemented on a building scale. The yard phytoarchitecture system involves arranging plants in the yard, which serves both as a decorative feature and a way to treat the building's wastewater. It can be used on dry yards or ponds and only requires a small amount of land. The plants used should have low leaf density and high root density. It plays a dual role consisting of onsite sanitation infrastructure and yard aesthetics, which mutually strengthen the environmental health locally and positively effect on a larger scale.

Abstract

The concept of productive green space has been mentioned in Al-Qur’an, which was revealed several centuries ago. However, Productive Facade (PF), a Vertical Greening System (VGS) method, has only recently been seen as a viable solution to provide crops and a cooler atmosphere in densely populated residential areas. The purpose of this article is to examine, from both scientific and Islamic perspectives, how shading and CO2 concentration reduction from PF can help cool the outdoor air, as well as the implications of this cooling mechanism for the development of a PF system as a secondary building skin that is more responsive to increasing urban temperatures. Literature reviews and experimental studies have been conducted to provide evidence and arguments from both scientific knowledge and Islamic perspectives. It was found that PF was able to provide an outdoor cooling effect. In addition, plant shade and CO2 uptake in PF are strongly correlated with air temperature. These findings are mentioned in the Qur'an and Hadiths as a basis for constructing an Islamic perspective.

Abstract

Various ambient air contaminants can spread into the indoor building through air transport. With the additional generation of contaminants from indoor activities, indoor air quality (IAQ) has the potential to be polluted. Indoor air pollution incidents can occur anytime, which is difficult to predict. Therefore, it is necessary to take action to improve IAQ as early as possible and sustainably. The solution to sustainable remediation is using plants to apply phylloremediation, which functions as leaves and leaf-associated microbial communities to reduce air contaminants. This study aims to provide new practical yet essential criteria for the sustainable operation of phylloremediation. This review is based on the latest results of a literature-based study. An analysis of the fundamental processes of plant life forms the basis for obtaining these criteria. The study emphasizes key criteria for phylloremediation encompassing the selecting plants with high transpiration and leaf-microbe synergy, and conducting maintenance by spraying water on leaves. These measures optimize efficiency and sustain the process for indoor air pollutant reduction. The final result summarises the new criteria for sustainable phylloremediation to maintain plant life. These essential criteria can be used for conducting experiments in empirical research, indoor design, and education for the community.

Abstract

Pollution in rivers is caused by the direct discharge of untreated domestic waste, which is characterised by excessive foam on the water surface. This occurs due to relatively rapid population growth accompanied by limited waste management infrastructure, leading to river water pollution in Indonesia. Therefore, an effective, efficient, environmentally friendly, and low-cost solution is needed, such as a Floating Constructed Wetland (FCW) system using aquatic plants. In this study, the aquatic plant used was Typha latifolia, which was able to treat polluted water in the Kalidami River, Surabaya. The objective of this study was to determine the percentage reduction efficiency of each treatment for phosphate and nitrate in contaminated river water. This study evaluated the performance of a laboratory-scale floating constructed wetland planted with Typha latifolia for reducing phosphate, nitrate, and total suspended solids (TSS) in river water. The experiment was conducted using a batch system, and water quality parameters were monitored during the treatment period to assess pollutant removal efficiency.  The results showed that the floating constructed wetlands system with single T. latifolia plants reduced phosphate by 40%, nitrate by 27%, and TSS 36.00%. FCWs technology with this plant is quite efficient in improving the quality of domestic wastewater before it is directly discharged into the river.
