Pant - A Clean Air Solution

Nature is a wonderful thing, according to some University of Georgia study published in the latest issue of HortScience, and there are some plants that have a solution fresh air through the removal of hazardous air pollutants that may actually be in someone's home and found not - including you. Things such as volatile organic compounds harmful (such as benzene and toluene, octane, trichlorethylene alpha-pinene and oxidised (trillion cubic feet).

The addition of two green plants living for your home or office can do more than just a little heat, making the outdoors in, it can also help to clean air.

A total of 28 stations in the tested by Qais Stanley, Ph.D. from the University of Georgia and his team to see what contaminants removed (a process known as the treatment plant) from the air.

The glass factory as well, and gas-tight containers and then exposed plants to the organic compounds found in the home. Plants and a good job to remove dirt from the air.

In fact, there are thousands of plants capable of air to remove contaminants, but the team found five "super ornamental plants" with the best price to remove contaminants. Best of the following:

- Red Ivy (Hemigraphis alternata)

- English ivy snail Hadera ()

- Fur plant (Hoya cornosa)

- Asparagus densiflorus asparagus fern ()

- Purple Heart (Tradescantia pallida)

No one can explain why some plants are able to do so and promised little other to do, but the science is still digging for answers. "We want the type and number of plants that need to be home or office to neutralize the problem to determine the pollutants," says Kish. "The idea that plants absorb volatile compounds is not much of a surprise as poor air quality, which we measured in some houses and we test it."

Volatile organic compounds are probably in the air of the house, will give your wooden furniture, carpets, plastics and construction materials (plaster, paint, solvents, glue), cleaning products, and perhaps even drinking water sectors.

Indicates that the air in our homes and offices are the focus of this source of pollution - in some surprising places up to 100 times greater than the air pollution in the open air.

And hazardous conditions associated with volatile organic compounds such as asthma, cancer, neurological problems and reproductive health.

They claim to about 1.6 million people annually, according to the report, international health organizations in 2002. Since 1957, scientists have identified 50000000 organic chemicals and inorganic and registered them in the system of the CAS.

Not all of the volatile organic compounds and toxic, and there are plants that have to pay the volatile organic compounds, but the majority of these do not seem dangerous.

Some plants are better for some of the toxins than others. Today there is no test you can do at home to make sure of the toxins, but hope that in the near future there will be a test at reasonable prices can help in the identification of pollutants in your home, along with a list of the best air purification plants.

"Ideally, we want the additional service which would have a package that can do a test for you to return it and get the recommendations of the" closed Qais. There are scientists in South Korea, which is a feature of the treatment plant in the United States, appeared in 86 species in an attempt to those that are possible to remove formaldehyde, and select it.

In the meantime, you can add some ornamental plants for your home or office is not just the appearance of the area to raise the level, but to take advantage of the possibility of solving the clean air, and will come.
