Air-purifying plants, a healthier indoor environment
Air is life. As such, its quality is important to our health, well-being, and how we feel. This is about the air outside but also the air inside. After all, that's where we spend much of our lives: at home, in the office, at work, or school. Harmful substances spoil the air we breathe. Those substances are given off by furniture, clothing, carpeting, paint, and printers, for example, but also by people themselves.
Every plant produces oxygen, but not every plant has a strong air-purifying effect. With the right air-purifying plants in a living or working space, you create a positive effect on the quality of the air - and on everyday life. Only a select assortment has proven strong air-purifying properties. These are the luchtzuiverende planten van Air So Pure.
Our air-purifying plants contribute to a healthy indoor climate by converting unhealthy substances such as particulate matter and CO2 into oxygen and water vapor. So in addition to a greener and more pleasant living or working environment, air-purifying plants also contribute to a healthier environment.
Our brand manager Ronald van Schie explains: “In general, plants that ask for more water are the more active ones: then there is more evaporation and thus more air is purified. Various studies show that plants have a positive effect on learning and work performance, creativity, and reducing pollutants in a room, among other things. In offices where good thought had been given to the right plants, sick leave, for example, was much lower.”
What are the benefits of air-purifying plants?
There are already many studies showing that air-purifying plants offer numerous benefits. For example, they purify the air of pollutants, improve humidity, promote concentration, productivity, and creativity, strengthen the immune system, and create a more cozy and atmospheric environment!
1. Purify harmful substances
Our air-purifying plants have a proven strong ability to absorb and neutralize harmful substances from the air. For example, common chemicals such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene are released from furniture, cleaning products, and other household products. All of our plants are known for their ability to absorb these substances, leading to healthier indoor air.
2. Improve humidity
Air So Pure's air-purifying plants help improve indoor humidity by evaporating water through their leaves. This is especially nice during the winter months when indoor air is often dry due to heating. Higher humidity can reduce skin and respiratory irritations and is beneficial for respiratory health. To create the ideal environment for the plants, however, we do recommend regularly spraying the leaves with water so that they are even better for their strength!
3. Improving concentration, productivity, and creativity
Several studies show that air-purifying plants in the work environment can improve concentration, productivity, and overall well-being. By improving air quality and reducing stress, air-purifying plants thus create a more pleasant work environment. Plants' green colors also have a calming and stress-reducing effect.
4. Strengthening the immune system
Improving air quality and humidity also indirectly affects your immune system. Breathing less polluted air helps protect the body from health issues such as allergies and respiratory problems. This makes you less susceptible to colds and other respiratory infections.
5. A green and atmospheric addition
In addition to all these health benefits, air-purifying plants also bring something positive to the look of your living, working, learning, or relaxing environment. Namely, they create a natural and inviting atmosphere in your home. Whether you choose the timeless Spathiphyllum, the trendy Monstera, the elegant Kentia palm, or the colorful Calathea, air-purifying plants give your interior a fresh look.
The more, the better
At Air So Pure, in collaboration with the independent research company Fytagoras, we test all new additions to our range of highly air-purifying plants - from large Strelitzias to tiny ferns and colorful Calatheas. But how many plants are needed in a room for an air-purifying effect? This depends on several factors. How high is the heating set? How often are the windows open? How large is the room? How many people live or work there? The effect of greenery is certainly positive, where one plant is already better than none. But: the more, the better of course. From small plants to large plants, there is a plant available for every space!
