Abstract

Phytoremediation is an emerging technology that involves plants to decontaminate soil, water and air. Plants are natural purifiers that purify air pollution by tackling chemicals and biological pollutants. There are certain special plants, such as spider plants, bamboo palms, etc., that can help to get clean indoor air in the city. Alternatively, the introduction of an intelligent processing system for malodorous gas monitoring devices, like artificial neural networks, could provide a reliable solution to the problem. This study tries to fill in the gaps left by previous research on how to choose the optimal design, as well as its benefits and drawbacks. If implemented, this method could open up a new door in the field of environmental odour management by making use of a robust mathematical computing tool to produce more accurate and consistent results. This research article also provides a summary of the ways in which artificial neural networks have been used to control unpleasant odours in the built environment. It has been determined that the elements, structure and learning algorithms are the primary variables in creating the best artificial neural network. The performance of the proposed neural network is examined rigorously, with strengths and faults highlighted for each metric.
