Have I read that the shallow rooted silver birch can take up roadside pollution – perhaps through the leaves?
Of course not, the plant is passive, they need to contact with the pollutants to remove it. Imagine you have 20 m3 room size, how many plants would you place (?). That’s why in current research, scientists use botanical biofilter to provide the pollutants on the plants. The results, why better than non-botanical biofilter.
I’m curious about whether the soil the plants are potted in might have something to do with not helping improve the air quality after all? I’ve been looking into the indoor plant vs. pollutant thing and it’s been mentioned that bringing in a plant from outside might also be introducing more sources of fungi and dust, not to mention insects, from the soil of the potted plant. What I’m thinking is if you could possibly grow an “anti-air pollution” plant in charcoal media like with orchids, or maybe just a (clean) aquaponic system, might that make a difference?
How robust are the air filtration systems in Boeing commercial airliners? Air they capable of filtering viruses?
