Top ten air purification plants
Modern urbanites spend about 90% of their time in an indoor environment every day. Excessive concentrations of pollutants such as formaldehyde and benzene have become invisible health killers. Choosing green plants with air purification functions can not only beautify the living environment, but also build a natural air filtration system. This article selects 10 purification plants certified by NASA research to help you create a healthy breathing space. The core purification plant recommends Tiger Orchid: Tiger Orchid, an expert in night oxygen generation, releases oxygen 24 hours a day through CAM photosynthesis, and is especially good at absorbing decoration pollutants such as formaldehyde and xylene. Experimental data shows that 0.938μg of formaldehyde can be purified per square meter of leaf area, which is especially suitable for placing in newly renovated bedrooms. Chlorophyta: The formaldehyde nemesis is known as the "biological air purifier". Its hanging growth characteristics form a three-dimensional purification network. A single plant of spider can purify 80% of harmful gases in 10 cubic meters of space, and its adsorption efficiency for formaldehyde reaches 95%. It is recommended to allocate 1 pot every 8-10 square meters. Green radish: all-round purification player green radish converts formaldehyde into amino acids through stomatal metabolism, and the absorption rate of benzene series reaches 90%. Hydroponic green radish can be combined with activated carbon to form a double purification system, especially suitable for placing next to printers, copiers and other office equipment. Features Auxiliary purification plant aloe vera: air detector aloe leaves appear brown spots, that is, prompt indoor formaldehyde concentration exceeded 0.01ppm. Its fleshy leaves can secrete bactericidal substances, and the inhibition rate of microorganisms in the air is more than 50%. Sliced sunflower: The natural humidifier can evaporate 1 liter of water per day, purifying xylene while maintaining 60% environmental humidity. It is recommended to place it in an air-conditioned room or a floor heating room to effectively prevent respiratory dryness. Ivy: The climbing and growing characteristics of the benzene absorbing king increase its purification area by three times, and its purification efficiency on trichloroethylene reaches 90%. It is especially suitable for placing next to new furniture. Other high-quality purifying plants Commelina can absorb electromagnetic radiation, Millennium Wood specializes in trichloroethylene, Evergreen eliminates nicotine, and Begonia suppresses mold spores. It is recommended to place 3-5 plants with different purification functions in combination to form a composite air purification matrix.
Scientific experiments have shown that placing 2-3 pots of purifying plants per 10 square meters can improve indoor air quality by 40%. It is recommended to regularly wipe the leaves with a damp cloth and apply organic liquid fertilizer every quarter to maintain the best purification efficiency of the plants. When used with an air circulation fan, the purification efficiency can be increased by more than 25%.
