Clean up his house with green plants

Aérons our house every day to fresh air and clean up, even in winter!

However, behind the cold weather more often remain closed. The air inside our homes contains chemicals that emanate from our paints, cleaning products, furniture and other materials. The most common are ammonia (cleaning products), benzene (paints, resins, cigarette smoke, plastics ...), formaldehyde (plywood, fiberglass, fabrics, household products, glues ...), toluene ( solvents, lacquers, polyurethane foam ..), trichlorethylene (solvents, varnishes, adhesives ...), pentachlorophenol (fungicides), carbon monoxide (cigarette smoke, gases released during malfunction of household appliances), the xylene (pesticides, paints, varnishes ..).

Rather than using chemicals to purify indoor air, better focus on green plants to de-pollution properties because they absorb pollutants from the atmosphere.

• Thus, aloe vera and philodendron remove formaldehyde and pentachlorophenol.
• The azalea eliminates ammonia, xylene. A focus in the kitchen.
• The cacti, including the columnar cactus, placed next to a computer, TV or a microwave oven can absorb electromagnetic waves.
• The chrysanthemum removes trichlorethylene

.

• The crowds chlorophytum carbon monoxide and also fight against solvents from paints and glues.
• Ficus absorbs formaldehyde, ammonia and xylene.
• The Boston fern is effective against formaldehyde and xylene.
• Ivy removes many benzene, formaldehyde, toluene. It can be found in all parts of a house.
• The peace lily (Flower Moon) is quite effective in absorbing pollutants in adhesives, sealants, paints and varnishes.

Some plants are toxic (philodendron, for example) so pay attention to children and pets.

It is generally recommended to place a plant biofilm approximately every 10 m2.
So .... Short tour to the garden, history not only to decorate the house but of respecting the environment clean and each room its plant!
