Indoor Plants Improve Air Quality

Over the last 10 to 15 years a lot of research has shown that indoor plants not only beautify indoor spaces, they also make them a healthier and more productive place to live in.

The results of Dr. B.C. Wolverton's research on air purifying benefits of indoor plants, sponsored by NASA and the Landscape Contractors of America, have been widely reported in both print and broadcast media.

Wolverton has shown that plants such as the Bamboo Palm and Madonna Lilies can clean indoor air by reducing the level of airborne VOCs, such as benzene, formaldehyde and trichloroethylene. Green Design Indoor Plant Hire has access to all the latest results in this field and can advise you as to what plants would best suit your situation.

Indoor Plants Produce Clean Air and Promote Health

Virginia Lohr has conducted test which show that plants not only can remove VOCs from the air, they can also improve the humidity inside buildings by up to 20 percent.

A lot of work has also been done by researchers such as Ulrich and Simons to show that people feel better about an indoor space with greenery than they do about one without. People were shown to be more relaxed, which can improve productivity, reduce stress, and reduce blood pressure. Indoor plants give many psychological benefits.
