Air Purifying Plants

The Solution to Air Pollution

If you thought that staying indoors in an airconditioned home or workspace can save you from health hazards of polluted air, think again. Studies show that in energy efficient, modern buildings, indoor air pollution poses threat to the health of the inhabitants. This problem is most prevalent in the centrally air conditioned office buildings.

The Menace

In such buildings, the fresh air exchange is almost nil. Moreover, synthetic building materials and furniture release volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Poisonous gases are constantly emitted in the house, Ammonia from the toilets, formaldehyde from the garbage, carbon monoxide from the stoves, benzene from the detergents, xylene from surface cleaners, trichloroethylene from wood finishes to name a few.

If you catch cold or allergies frequently, suffer from burning sensations in the eyes or are prone to itching, then probably you should blame these gases. Air quality also has a lot of other adverse effects on the health. It can lead you to frequent headaches, migraine, digestive problems and even asthma.

The Solution

Well, if you are wondering whether you should be searching for a air purifying machine, Stop! Mother Nature has the most amazing solution to this problem.

In 1989 NASA conducted a study on clean air and found out a brilliant solution to this problem. It is natural, cheaper, sustainable, decorative and much more. They listed 12 indoor plants that soak up harmful gases from air and release oxygen. Not only that, plants are stress busters; they affect mood positively, increase productivity, increases concentration and memory.

According to NASA, 2-3 plants in 8-10 inch pots for every 100 square feet is required for optimum clean-up. You’ll benefit the most when you include a variety of plants in a room.
