Abstract
We often find the use of the insect repellent in everyday life. However, insect repellent is very harmful to health. The use of decorative plants are considered to be able to mitigate the negative effects of the insect repellent. This study aims to determine the ability of plants to absorb CO. In this study, the Sansevieria and Scindapsus Aureus plants were used as the media to reduce the concentration of CO. The data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The quantitative data were obtained from the calculation of the absorbed concentration using AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer) test. The results showed that in the bright room, Sansevieria was able to absorb CO at: 0.06 ppm (250C); 0.09 ppm (300C); 0.012 ppm (350C), and Scindapsus Aureus at 0.07 ppm (250C); 0.11 ppm (300C); 0.14 ppm (350C). Then, in a dark room Sansevieria was able to absorb CO at: 0.04 ppm (250C); 0.06 ppm (300C); 0.09 ppm (350C), and Scindapsus Aureus at 0.04 ppm (250C); 0.06 ppm (300C); 0.08 ppm (350C). Based on the results, Sansevieria and Scindapsus Aureus plants more effectively absorb the CO gas when it is placed in a bright room.
