Indoor oxygen Plants – By Malsha – eLanka Indoor Air Quality: Indoor air quality can be compromised by pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, trichloroethylene, and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These pollutants can be released by common household items, furnishings, and building materials, leading to poor air quality. Indoor Plants and Air Purification: Certain indoor plants have been studied for their ability to purify the air by removing these harmful pollutants. They can absorb these chemicals through their leaves and root systems and convert them into harmless byproducts. Oxygen Production: All plants engage in photosynthesis, a process by which they use light, water, and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and glucose. While most indoor plants do produce some oxygen, the amounts are relatively small compared to the total oxygen needs of humans indoors. Plant Selection: Some common indoor plants known for their air-purifying abilities include Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum), Snake ...
