        abstract = {This study presents the development of a novel, eco-friendly curtain made from banana Fibers infused with lavender extract, dubbed "Eco-Calm." The curtain aims to promote indoor air quality and wellbeing by leveraging the natural air-purifying properties of banana fabric and the calming effects of lavender. With the increasing concern about indoor air pollution and its impact on human health, this innovative curtain offers a sustainable solution for creating a healthier indoor environment. The banana fabric was extracted and processed using a combination of mechanical and chemical treatments, then blended with lavender extract and woven into a durable, aesthetically pleasing curtain fabric. The unique blend of natural fabric and lavender extract creates a synergistic effect, enhancing the curtain's air-purifying properties while promoting relaxation and reducing stress. Results showed significant improvements in indoor air quality, with reductions in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter (PM). Furthermore, the lavender-infused curtain demonstrated a calming effect on occupants, with reduced stress levels and improved mood. This study demonstrates the potential of eco-friendly, plant-based materials in promoting indoor environmental quality and occupant wellbeing. The Eco-Calm curtain offers a promising solution for various applications, including homes, offices, and healthcare facilities. Its sustainable, eco-friendly design aligns with the growing demand for environmentally responsible products.},
