Whether at work or at home, buildings and structures silently emit toxins and pollutants into the indoor air that we breathe. This is especially true for both newly constructed or remodeled buildings. The major air pollutants that may be found in your office may include benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethelyne, while pollutants in the home may include asbestos, carbon monoxide, lead, and secondhand smoke, just to name a few. The good news is that you can take some eco-friendly steps to reduce your indoor air pollution, all while making your office or home more beautiful an inviting. While plants are critical in the reduction of carbon dioxide and essential to the production of oxygen, they can also absorb many harmful toxins and substances that may be contained in out indoor air. While plants in general contribute to our general health, specific breeds of plants can act as very effective pollutant reducers. For instance, to target pollutants from tobacco smoke in the office or home, the Dragon Tree is particularly suited for the job. To combat pollutants in a newly painted home, turn to the Ribbon Plant. Whatever your source of indoor air pollution may be, there is most certainly a plant to get rid of it.
