How to use indoor plants to improve the air in
an apartment?
The average city dweller holds in the premises
about 80% of your free time. And according to research
the air inside the apartments can be polluted 10 times more than
the street. This becomes one of the reasons for the appearance of a number of people
respiratory and chronic diseases, and allergies.
Various chemicals appear in our apartments in
first of all from the street, tobacco smoke, from building materials,
plastic, furniture, various dyes, adhesives, household chemicals,
carpets.
Everyone knows the “atmosphere” in the new or recently renovated
premises. Oh, that smell of cement, plaster, varnish or paint!

In such difficult situations, as always, you can ask for help.
mother nature. Indoor plants can significantly improve
indoor air quality. This is confirmed by reports on
NASA research. In the course of which, scientists found that plants
are able to remove 87% of toxic substances per day that are in
the air. At the same time, for an ordinary living room is enough 2-3 large
plants.
Plants are able to remove such harmful or
toxic substances like: carbon dioxide, ammonia, benzene, xylene,
toluene, formaldehyde, trichlorethylene.
Do not think that in your apartment all this is not. For example,
carpet on the floor or wall serves as an excellent dust collector and
breeding ground for microscopic fauna. Remember how it smells new
furniture is the evaporation of fresh varnish or glue by active
components of which are various solvents and binders.
You may not even notice how you inhale a “bunch” of toxic
substances, dust, spores of fungi from the damp corner and bacteria. And yours

On the other hand, during the heating season, the plants themselves can
suffer from low humidity, so you should take care of them.
But usually this happens with a small number of plants in the room.
In this case, it is necessary to use other means to increase
humidity. The best solution would be to purchase a humidifier.

In addition, some plants may produce biologically

It is also believed that a large number of plants in
the room is able to absorb all the oxygen during the night and you will suffocate.
For this reason, some people sleep with their windows open.
Indeed, at night the plants “breathe.” Oxygen is required for
maintaining life processes in low light and
impossibility of the flow of photosynthesis. But количество потребляемого
