Supplementing the lungs by growing plants indoors

Do not think only new external environment is polluted; The house you live in is also filled with toxic gas. By planting trees, you will help your lungs get better and your whole body will be "good".

On average every day, from children to the elderly, we spend 20 hours between the four dividing walls of the school, the office, the apartment . And inside these walls there is an umbrella form. Potential contamination is equally harmful as external pollution.

Science has proved that the majority of construction and interior materials are more or less impacting on the health of people living in that environment every day. The more modern a house or room is, the higher the risk of contamination, due to volatile organic substances or pollutants released from adhesives, paints, wallpaper, detergents, etc.

Some contaminants are classified as carcinogenic. The toxicity of each substance is known individually, but it is unclear what the impact would be if they were gathered in a narrow atmosphere.

Among the solutions, people are highly encouraged to plant trees indoors. In industrialized countries, research scientists have found plants capable of filtering and eliminating indoor air pollution. The results are very promising because only 3 plants are sufficient to purify 60 cubic meters of air in an hour.

Plants can convert toxic gases by transporting them down to the roots so that microorganisms in the soil can be eliminated. To effectively support the air purification plant, you have to make the air flow well in the roots and the plants are always kept moist because it makes it easier to pass through. Remember that the more water a tree consumes, the more moisture it produces and helps to eliminate pollutants.

But also pay attention to the moldy condition of the roots and can form on the ground. An effective solution is to spread a small layer of 2-4cm thick gravel on the ground, so that irrigation water is easily absorbed, while avoiding the occurrence of mold on the potted plant. Also to avoid moldy roots, pay attention not to create moist areas under the pot, for example, not to leave stagnant water in the potting plate, especially when you put potted plants on wooden or carpeted floors.

The other important issue is to find the right plants to grow indoors (preferably ask the expert about plants).Some plants have very good air pollution elimination properties such as :

- Chrysanthemum: Draw trichlorethylene in paint and solvents, place in newly painted rooms.

- Foliage plants: Neutralization of formol usually in glue, insulating mousse layers.

- Cactus: Ideal for eliminating the harmful effects of electromagnetic waves emitted from the screen of a television or computer, should be placed near these products.

- Types of creepers: Excluding benzene in paint, ink, plastic or detergent, can be placed in the kitchen or in the hallway.
