Did you know that indoor air pollution is as harmful as outdoor air pollution, if not more? It has been discovered in several studies conducted that air pollution is no more just constrained to the outdoors. Apologies for bursting your bubble; but if you thought that staying inside your cosy homes and comfortable offices are protecting you against harmful air pollutants. Then you\u2019ve got it wrong. Staying in indoor might be causing harm to you. As the presence of air pollutants is much more than in the outdoor urban environment. Let’s discuss how efficient plant in curbing indoor air pollution<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Poor ventilation, biomass fuel usage, indoor smoking, overcrowding, firewood cooking, fire-based water heaters, humidifiers with stagnant water, etc., are some of the main causes of indoor pollution.<\/p>\n

The health consequences of succumbing to poor indoor air quality can be as fatal as claiming life but as they say, there exists no problem without the solution. The indoor pollution can be tackled by taking precautionary measures, such as ensuring adequate cross-ventilation, avoiding unintended smoking and curtailing the use of firewood for varied domestic purposes.<\/p>\n

Along with precautionary measures, however, you can also keep plants in your home. Living plants work as stress-buster and keep the spirits up. According to NASA Clean Air Study those specific houseplants, when kept indoors, remove the toxins and pollutants in the air and make it clean to breathe.<\/p>\n

Not only they relieve you from stress, but they also enhance the ambience and d\u00e9cor while purifying the air and increasing the oxygen levels.<\/p>\n

There are some notable houseplants which are easy to take care of and highly effective in curbing indoor air pollution.<\/h4>\n

The<\/strong> Bostorn Fern<\/strong>\u00a0: The Fern is one of the plants to come in the top of NASA\u2019s air cleaning list. It grows quickly but demands care as it has to be sprayed with water numerous times a week.<\/p>\n

The Aloe Vera<\/strong>\u00a0: Well-known for its healing and anti-inflammatory gel, aloe vera plant is a great air cleaner, especially the chemicals from cleaning solutions. It likes to have lots of sunlight asking for less care.<\/p>\n

Rubber Tree<\/strong>\u00a0: Rubber Tree occupies a lot of space but carries exceptional purifying properties. It flourishes in the areas with low light and is easy to take care of.<\/p>\n

English Ivy<\/strong>\u00a0: Rated as NASA\u2019s top air-purifying houseplant, the English Ivy efficiently sucks up formaldehyde. It easily thrives in medium sunlight and at a moderate temperature.<\/p>\n

Snake Plant<\/strong>\u00a0: Snake Plant is next up on the list of air-cleaning plants. It emits oxygen during the night and takes in carbon dioxide. It requires little light and water, making it the perfect plant to put in your bedroom.<\/p>\n

Palm Tree<\/strong>\u00a0: Palm is another plant which detoxifies the air and is very efficient in doing that. It is really easy to take care and requires plenty of water and indirect sunlight.<\/p>\n

No doubt, it\u2019s a win-win situation to place indoor houseplants. But PM2.5 is a pollutant which even houseplants can\u2019t eliminate from your home; for that, you need an indoor air purifier. Prana Air Purifier<\/a> is one such indoor air purifier which has the best filtration technology with multi-filters for PM 2.5 and all other toxins and pollutants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
