Have you heard about indoor pollution?
According to the World Health Organisation, 3.8 million deaths are attributed to household air pollution annually.
Indoor air pollutants include mould, building materials, home products, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and naturally occurring gases like radon.
The NASA researched ways to clean indoor air in space stations back in the 1980’s.
They identified air-purifying plants that are highly effective at cleaning the air from pollutants.
The TOP 10 air-purifying plants are:
– Aloe Vera
– Areca Palm
– Bamboo Palm
– Boston Fern
– Devil’s Ivy/Money Plant
– Dracaena
– English Ivy
– Ficus/Weeping Fig/Rubber Plant
– Mother in Law’s Tongue/Snake Plant
– Philodendron
It is recommended to have one of those every 100 square feet of indoor space. Easy! 😉
