Abstract: Plants have been used for centuries to decorate homes and add a touch of nature to interiors. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, plants have numerous benefits for indoor environments. Research has shown that plants can purify the air, improve indoor air quality and have psychological and physiological benefits. In this research, it aims to figure out the extent of knowing the effects of indoor plants on organic chemicals emitted from furniture and decoration elements. For this purpose, 225 randomly selected people participated in the prepared research questionnaire. According to the results of the survey, it was determined that the 18-25 age group participants and the participants with postgraduate education had a higher level of knowledge about the effects of plants on DEPARCH 215 indoor pollutants compared to the participants in the other age and education groups. On the other hand, no significant difference was found between the evaluations of male and female participants regarding the effects of plants on indoor pollutants. When these results are examined in general, it is seen that the participants do not have enough information about the effects of indoor plants on the organic chemicals emitted from the furniture and decoration elements. As a result, it has been revealed that users should be informed about the effects of indoor plants on organic chemicals and awareness should be raised on this issue. And it has been reported that increasing the level of knowledge on this subject can provide significant contributions to human health.
