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

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) originating from construction materials and human activities present considerable health hazards in indoor settings. Phytoarchitecture provides a sustainable approach by incorporating vegetation into architectural design to effectively mitigate pollutants. This research seeks to define criteria for plant positioning according to photosynthetic pathways (C3, C4, and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM)) to optimize VOC absorption. Employing a systematic literature review methodology, data on plant physiology, and leaf morphology were examined to establish a design framework. The findings suggest that the positioning of plants should be based on their stomatal opening cycles: CAM plants, which absorb carbon dioxide at night, are optimal for indoor bedrooms, whereas C3/C4 plants are more appropriate for daytime active areas and outdoor facades. Additionally, plants exhibiting narrow leaf profiles and elevated stomatal density exhibit enhanced VOC removal efficacy. It was determined that synchronizing architectural design with plant photosynthetic cycles establishes an efficient, passive air purification system that improves both indoor environmental quality (IEQ) and building aesthetics.

Abstract

The increasing demand for water resources and the limitations of freshwater availability have encouraged the development of sustainable water reuse strategies, particularly in high-consumption facilities such as hospitals. Reclaimed water from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) has potential as an alternative water source for cooling tower systems; however, challenges related to water quality, biological risks, and operational reliability remain. This study aims to identify global research trends, technological developments, and optimisation strategies for reclaimed water utilisation in hospital cooling tower applications. A systematic literature review combined with bibliometric analysis and systematic literature network analysis (SLNA) was conducted using Scopus database publications from 2020–2025. Data analysis was performed using VOSviewer and Orange Data Mining through keyword mapping, co-occurrence analysis, word cloud visualisation, and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modelling. The results revealed that reclaimed water research is dominated by environmental science and engineering fields, with major themes focusing on wastewater treatment, membrane technology, water reuse, and sustainability. Advanced treatment systems, including membrane bioreactor, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, and disinfection processes, were identified as key approaches for improving reclaimed water quality. This study highlights that successful implementation of reclaimed water systems requires integrated consideration of technological, environmental, regulatory, and public health aspects to support sustainable hospital water management.
