Our study addresses this gap with a dual approach to mitigate VOCs in indoor environments. First, we developed an innovative, resource-efficient method to assess the VOC absorption capabilities of various plant species over extended periods, identifying robust candidates that sustain air quality improvements in real-world settings. Second, we employed machine learning algorithms to evaluate and predict VOC absorption behaviors, creating a scalable framework that assesses a broader range of plant species across diverse conditions without intensive experiments. Findings highlight the autumn fern as the most effective species in reducing VOCs over twelve days, with the maidenhair fern and Brazilian philodendron also showing significant potential. We also examined how environmental factors like light cycles and temperature variations impact VOC mitigation. Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) networks demonstrated superior predictive accuracy and robustness.

In this context, this study developed a methodology to characterize the microclimate in historical city centers, using the Mediterranean city of Málaga in southern Spain as a paradigmatic case study. To this end, field measurements were carried out by using a bicycle mobile station and a handheld thermal imaging camera along the so-called Picassian route, covering eleven different streets and eight historical buildings (eleven façades) where air and surface temperatures were collected. The results showed significant differences in the values of air and surface temperatures, so studies of urban microclimate should consider both types of temperatures together, and especially the temperature of building façades, which is often ignored due to the lack of open data about it but has notable different patterns. An analysis of the relationship between field data and a range of spatial factors related to the morphology and surface artificiality of urban areas revealed that shading and tree planting might provide a solution to heat mitigation.
