gypsum, and natural fibres are only a few examples of natural-based materials that are contrasted
with synthetic counterparts. The review examines the thermal resistance, mould resistance, VOC
retention, physical strength, and characteristics of various plasters while also examining the
importance of indoor air quality and any potential health advantages of utilising construction
materials with natural bases. The study also outlines the difficulties and impediments to the use
of building plasters with natural bases, such as financial viability, building norms and
regulations, and the requirement for case studies of successful implementation.To encourage the
broad use of building plasters made from natural materials, this literature study concludes with
recommendations for industry experts and politicians.]]>
