Abstract(in English) Due to economic growth humans have been coming in contact with various chemicals. Therefore, people who become chemical sensitive are increasing, which results in anaphylaxis for various chemicals. Recently, sick house syndrome is occurring frequently in an indoor environment. Especially, the aged and infants mainly pass their time in a house. Since they are physically weak, there is a high probability for them to fall into the syndrome. The results are asthma or allegry. In this study, the removal rate of foliage plants (Golden pothos) is examined, namely the purification ability P_a of indoor air pollutants from an experimental sealed chamber by house plants is examined. P_a is derived from tin oxide gas-sensor characteristics for a chemical. It is the value of which the peak of the characteristic is divided by the full-width at half maximum. The smaller the molecular weight of a chemical is, the large P_a becomes. The following chemicals are examined;formaldehyde, toluene, xylene, cigarette smoke and car exhaust. P_a of pothos for formaldehyde is 25, and 80 for ammonia gas.
