Presentation Description/Abstract
Clean air is an essential yet increasingly scarce resource in our rapidly urbanizing society. Green walls, or vertical gardens, offer a sustainable approach to improving air quality by integrating living plant systems into the built environment. These installations act as natural air filters, reducing pollutants such as particulate matter and volatile organic compounds while enriching oxygen levels. Indoors, green walls can enhance occupant well-being by creating healthier, more breathable spaces, while outdoors they help to mitigate the cumulative effects of smog and urban pollution. Beyond purification, green walls also foster a deeper connection between communities and their environment, demonstrating how ecological systems can be harmonized with modern infrastructure. This presentation explores the conceptual role of green walls as a bridge between sustainable design and public health, emphasizing their potential to transform both interior and exterior environments into cleaner, more resilient spaces.

I'd like to have plants at with my poster (i'll provide them), if able, i'd like to have a table.
