Until I came upon the video you are about to watch below, I had no idea that air pollution that exists inside our homes is far more concentrated and dangerous for us, than outdoor pollution! This indoor pollution, according to the American Lung Association, is often overlooked and is caused by dangerous chemicals that can be found in almost every home.
The three most dangerous chemicals are: formaldehyde, benzene and trichloroethylene. These pollutants are often found in carpets, plastics and cleaning supplies, and exacerbate or cause allergies and asthma. So that’s the bad news. The good news is that a recent study by NASA revealed that there is a natural and esthetically pleasing way to detoxify the air in your home…a select group of POTTED PLANTS!
Some plants that do the trick in getting rid of pollutants are:
SPIDER PLANTS which get rid of formaldehyde; DRACAENA PLANT; FICUS TREES which eliminate benzene in the air; PEACE LILY which eradicates ammonia and other chemicals; RUBBER PLANTS removes carbon monoxide; BOSTON FERNS; POT MUMS and ENGLISH IVY.
These and other common potted plants will be discussed in the upcoming video, and will further explain how important it is for your respiratory health, to keep plants in your indoor environment. Let us know what you think and whether you will add more plants inside your homes.
Do you have these plant inside your house?
