Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a moss mat utilizing a mesh structure and an eco-friendly sculpture to which the moss mat is attached. More specifically, the invention relates to a moss mat utilizing a mesh structure and an eco-friendly sculpture to which the moss mat is attached, which is formed by placing moss, buttermilk, and water into a mixer and mixing them, and then applying the mixture to the mesh structure. This allows external air to easily penetrate the interior for smooth air circulation, and prevents the moss from easily detaching even when the mat is flipped over, thereby making it convenient to use and install, and increasing practicality as it can be applied in various locations. Background Technology

[0002] Fine dust refers to dust particles so small that they are invisible to the naked eye. It contains air pollutants including sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, lead, ozone, and carbon monoxide. In particular, fine dust generated from vehicle exhaust and the wear of brakes and tires is a major cause of urban air pollution.

[0003] It has been revealed that fine dust particles with a diameter of 10 μm or less that float in the atmosphere for a long time are highly likely to have harmful effects on the human body, such as increasing the incidence and mortality rates of diseases among vulnerable groups. In addition, it is known that due to the small size of the particles, these fine dust particles penetrate deep into the alveoli of the human body, becoming a direct cause of various respiratory diseases and worsening the body's immune function.

[0004] Developed countries are devising and implementing various measures to protect their citizens from fine dust that threatens health. In particular, Europe is implementing preventive measures against fine dust, moving beyond the limitations of reactive treatments. As part of these efforts, they are strengthening fine dust forecasts, recommending the use of public transportation, bicycles, or walking on days with high levels of fine dust, and promoting restrictions on the use of traditional fireplaces as a means to raise awareness of the harmful effects of fossil fuel use.

[0005] In an industrial city in Europe with severe air pollution, a massive moss wall was installed on a four-lane road as a measure against the operation of automobiles, which is the main cause of fine dust in the city center. The reason for installing the moss wall is that it has been proven that the moss absorbs fine dust and uses it as food, thereby effectively removing fine dust from the road caused by the operation of automobiles.

[0006] Although taxonomically close to ferns, mosses are plants capable of independent vegetative life due to the presence of chloroplasts and the lack of developed special conducting tissues. Mosses possess a relatively simple tissue structure, enabling them to survive in harsh conditions and even in dry environments. In particular, mosses have the characteristic of regrowing even after drying out, provided there is a certain level of moisture. Unlike other plants, mosses are characterized by absorbing water and nutrients through their entire tissues, and their roots perform only a secondary role of attachment rather than the function of absorbing water and nutrients typically found in plants.

[0007] Conventional methods for constructing moss walls involve attaching the moss to the wall using adhesive or securing it by attaching a mesh net to the surface of the moss.

[0008] However, this construction method not only hinders the growth of moss but also reveals various problems, such as aesthetic issues.

[0009] Furthermore, this method urgently requires a solution, particularly in the case of wall moss intended for air purification, as it has a physical structure that prevents external air from circulating internally. Prior art literature
