Indoor
Plants have been proven to efficiently remove toxins from the air.
Toxins mainly
come from building material, carpets, office furniture,
air-conditioning and photocopiers, to name a few.
These toxins are also known as VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).
Research on Indoor Plants has shown that they can remove up to 90%
of the toxins in the air.
Plants help fight against what is known as ‘sick building syndrome’
which consist of itchy eyes, coughing, sneezing and headaches. It has
also been proven that a significant amount of plants does have an effect
on reducing the number of sick days taken by employees.
