in the air of our apartments are in a definite however small, the concentration of harmful substances: formaldehyde (a chemical used in the manufacture of plywood, furniture, carpets, fiber materials and some types of insulation), plasticizers - substances introduced into the plastic to give them flexibility, pesticides (those who keep their houses for spraying their garden plots), and various solvents contained in paints, plastics, adhesives and other chemical products used for finishing apartments, microorganisms and allergens, and, finally, frequently - common tobacco smoke.
Prior to 1990 the air in buildings was updated every two hours itself through doors, vents and cracks in the windows. More and more people began to pay attention to sealing their homes and workplaces for better savings heat. The air in buildings are still exchanged, but it takes for five hours or more, which leads to the accumulation of pollutants in it to a level threatening the health of people.
No book on indoor horticulture is not without words that houseplants freshen the air in the apartment. Each amateur houseplants , listing the merits of their pets, be sure and mention that to them in the room breathe easier. But until now this effect, observed "at the household level", explained only by the fact that plants assimilate accumulated in the air, carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Here goes More and processes of active absorption of air and other harmful substances.
turned out that well-known to all indoor plant - Chlorophytum clears air more efficiently than many of the specially created for this purpose technical equipment.
placed in a special small Plexiglas chamber plants of several species, and highlighting its good, the researchers injected back gases that pollute the indoor air. Metering is then absorbed by plants volume of gases, they found the most "workable".
Thus it was found that for 24 hours Chlorophytum completely cleans the air from the experimental chamber all contaminants. For some as yet unknown reasons, this plant assimilates harmful gases at a phenomenal rate, maybe the reason is that it is growing rapidly, and his "kids", too, receive nourishment from the air. Chlorophytum propagated vegetatively, its stems appear sprouts, then purchase their own root - the so-called "kids".
one plant is enough to mitigate the effects of nitrogen oxides indoors, where the combustion gas. But, for example, to absorb the formaldehyde released by thermal insulation of some synthetic materials, in a flat average, according to the calculations already take about 10 Chlorophytum.
In the laboratory wastewater have been studying the properties of water hyacinth - one of the most prolific in the world of weeds. Everywhere he is considered a pest. Indeed, the hyacinth grows uncontrollably, choking waterways. However, unable to identify its useful properties. It turned out that this plant not only with horrifying speed clogs the river, but also simultaneously cleanse their water of harmful impurities. Water hyacinth is perfectly absorbs phosphate, potassium nitrate, that is, the very substances that pollute it. It is the study of water hyacinth prompted scientists to think about using plants to clean air.
optional use of filters placed in the soil, effectively eliminate harmful impurities in the air. So, for example, introduced in a pot with the plant activated carbon significantly enhances the cleaning properties of plants as a whole.
