Brief Summary:
This study will recruit 60 subjects in sum of 30 families We will measure 2 indoor environments living room and bedroom for All-in-one monitoring the indoor air quality in which collected culturable fungus and bacteria indoor to calculate colony forming unit CFU We will apply Kore Technology MS-200 Electron Ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry EI-TOF-MS to measure the indoor volatile organic chemicals VOCs before intervention and perform repeated measurements of VOCs and the concentration of phytoncides before intervention and one week later after placing potted plants into indoor environments living room and bedroom
In conclusion this study aims to investigate the clinical utility of potted mint plants in reducing indoor bacterial and fungal growth and indoor air pollution and cardiovascular benefits Furthermore the possible application of indoor potted mint plant in antiviral influenza or pneumonia in the future

Detailed Description:
The contribution of air pollution is a very important public health issue for human health Indoor air quality may have more influence on human health than outdoor air pollution Previous studies indicate indoor air pollution which causes respiratory disease has been associated with cardiovascular disease Besides some studies showed that indoor CO2 concentration was positively correlated with virus detection and bacterial concentration in the air and coagulase-negative staphylococci CNS was detected in many poorly ventilated indoor environments Mint can release chemical substance to inhibit viruses and bacteria Among the components the menthol and terpineol induced vasodilation so as to reduce blood pressure For the pilot study we have finished the qualitative and quantitative research in chemical components released by the mint
Therefore this study aims to evaluate the indoor air quality and the distribution of fungal and bacterial concentration in the indoor environment analyze the effect of potted mint plants on indoor air quality fungal and bacterial concentration and explore the correlation between the intervention of potted mint plants and cardiovascular health

Furthermore we used matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry MALDI-TOF-MS to identify microbiology simultaneously we record the outdoor environment and indoor ventilation To assess subjects cardiovascular health we use DynaPulse to evaluate their cardiovascular function and make them equipped with Holter electrocardiography ECG to continuously monitor the trend of heart rate variability HRV before and after intervention
In conclusion this study aims to investigate the clinical utility of potted mint plants in reducing indoor bacterial and fungal growth and indoor air pollution and cardiovascular benefits Furthermore the possible application of indoor potted mint plant in antiviral influenza or pneumonia in the future
