【 摘 要 】

This paper focus on the review of green filtration system that incorporated with evaporative cooling that used to enhance indoor air quality. This system was invented in attempt to thrive a clean environment that becomes a solution for certain places. Indoor air quality (IAQ) and public health risk connected to each other, it is due to the percentage of city population that stays indoors rather than go for outdoors. Indoor air contamination are originated from mixed origin such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and indoor airborne particulate matter (PM). There are two (2) methods will be discussed in this review paper. First is the modular green wall and VOCs removal. All trial PM factions are effectively reduced by all plant species in method one (1) which helps in improving indoor air quality (IAQ). The same goes for VOCs removal in method two (2). Our centre of attention is assessing the present condition of study and the prospective research needs.
