Having plants at home is a great way to stay healthy, as some help purify the air by removing various pollutants, such as benzene and formaldehyde residues, which are toxic and can be carcinogenic. This type of substances are present in household cleaning products and therefore can easily reach levels harmful to health.
Some of the best plants to take in the interior due to their potent air purifying action are:
- Babosa (or aloe vera);
- Philodendron ( Peperômia philodendron );
- Chlorophytum ( Chlorophytum comosum );
- Fico ( Fusus benjamina );
- Hera (all species of the family);
- Lily of the peace ( Spathiphyllum wallisi ).
Having plants at home is even more interesting for those who live with smokers or in the middle of the city. Although it is not possible to have control over external pollutants, indoors we can reduce its harmful effects.
Another solution for those who do not like having plants at home are the air purifying filters that purify the air by removing the impurities.
