Health facts about indoor plants for home and office from NASA
Healthy facts on plants.
Plants have a benevolent effect on people and the spaces in which they live and work.
Hospital patients recover faster when they are in a room with a view on a park.
Plants reduce the accumulation of dust on the horizontal surfaces in your house or office, and at the same time they optimise the air humidity.
Plants help to reduce stress.
A group of experimental subjects recovered from health problems such as headaches, exhaustion, coughs and eye irritation after they had put a few house plants in their living room or work environment. Their problems decreased with 30%!.
NASA has assembled a list of air purifying plants.
This list is part of the NASA Clean Air Study which is a research into the quality of the air in space stations. All plants absorb carbon dioxide and different kinds of harmful substances, and they release oxygen.
The plants that are on the NASA list, however, remove significant amounts of benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene as well.
There are micro-organisms in the soil that also contribute to the purification of the surrounding air.
For you this means that some of your plants might be busy removing harmful substances from the air in your home.
Cigarette smoke, nasty smells from the kitchen, but also the little dust particles that are normally in the air. If you get some of the Take-a-way plants from our list below into your house, you are in fact getting yourself a biological air filter.
