Here, we report the label-free detection of combustion-derived particles (CDPs) on plants as a monitoring tool for indoor pollution. First, we measured the indoor CDP deposition on Atlantic ivy leaves (Hedera hibernica) using two-photon femtosecond microscopy. Subsequently, to prove its effectiveness for using it as a monitoring tool, ivy plants were placed near five different indoor sources. CDP particle area and number were used as output metrics. CDP values ranged between a median particle area of 0.45 x 10² to 1.35 x 10^4 mm² , and a median particle number of 0.10 x 10² to 1.42 x 10³ particles for the indoor sources: control (greenhouse) < milling machine < indoor smokers < wood stove < gas stove < laser printer. Our findings demonstrate that Atlantic ivy, combined with label-free detection, can be effectively used in indoor atmospheric monitoring studies. | Keywords: | Indoor pollution;Combustion-derived particles;Monitoring;Ivy | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/31712 | ISSN: | 0269-7491 | e-ISSN: | 1873-6424 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.envpol.2020.115261 | ISI #: | WOS:000572960600024 | Rights: | 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
