Benefits of houseplants
High indoors levels of C0₂ and low relative humidity can promote human health issues such as skin irritation, skin dryness, sneezing, tight chest, shortness of breath and reduced concentration levels (Gubb et al 2018). Additionally The Royal Horticulture Society mentions houseplants can help to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) indoors (Royal Horticulture 2019). VOCs are gases which can cause various human health issues, and are emitted from solids or liquids such as paint, printers, air fresheners, disinfectants and furnishings (Environmental Protection Agency, n.d).
Which Houseplants?
According to Gubb and colleagues (2018) the Hedera Helix and Spathiphyllum wallisii can influence humidity and have the highest C0₂ removal within an indoor setting when compared to other plants. The Royal Horticulture Society also suggest the Peace lily (Spathiphyllum wallisii), Snake plant and Boston Fern to purify indoor air quality.
By simply introducing a few house plants into your interior space, the C0₂ and humidity can be improved. 🌱
