Air quality refers to the circumstance of the air within adjoining. The study was undertaken to assess the air quality through indoor plants. The study was carried out in experimental work. Air quality was assessed by measuring the air within surroundings. Air quality meter were used for assessment of air quality of indoor spaces for four weeks in Gangotari hostel of CCSHAU, Hisar. For the experimental work six rooms were selected for assessment of indoor air quality of different rooms, i.e., R1 (spider plant), R2(rubber plant), R3 (bamboo palm), R4 (snake plant), R5(boston fern) and one room was RC(control room) for comparison in air quality. Volatile organic compound decreased in room with spider plant (63.41%), room with rubber plant (51.85%), room with bamboo palm (72.73%), room with snake plant (64.04%).
