These Air purifying plants Add Beauty to Interiors

You can easily see how trendy it has become growing indoor plants. NASA released a series of studies stating that indoor plants purify the air. That is why the number of people is increasing day by day who are growing indoor air purifying plants and filling their window sills with greenery. 

It is wise to add some low-maintenance plants such as the Oxcardium plant to your living space because a modest amount of foliage enhances indoor air quality. These days we spend 90% of our time indoors in different activities: studying, reading, sleeping, net surfing or working in the office and at that time we have to face indoor air pollution. 

There are a lot of reasons that cause indoor air pollution such as upholstery, carpet, furnishing, dry cleaned clothing, cleaning products, synthetic building materials, bacteria, mold pesticides. All these products release volatile organic compounds like formaldehyde, xylene, benzene, ammonia, etc.

We all face a small amount of indoor pollution daily and it is not a big issue. But if you are highly sensitive or due to poor ventilation you can feel sick in some cases. Some common symptoms are nausea, fatigue, and headache; these are called sick building syndrome.

Indoor plants impact VOC levels and improve air quality. Indoor plants not only reduce stress and irritation to ears, eyes, nose, throat coughing, and congestion but also boost attention capacity. By increasing the humidity and reducing levels of CO2 indoor plants act as a natural humidifier and also prevent irritation to the eyes, throat, nose, and even lungs. 

The attractive foliage of indoor plants makes people feel better. There are so many indoor air purifying plants that are easy to care for and hard to kill so if you don't have a Green thumb then look for these easy-to-grow air purifying plants.
