Research
has been conducted by NASA into the presence of Volitile
Organic Compounds (VOC) in offices. Carpets, upholstery,
copier machines and cleaning products emit VOCs. NASA's
research recommended that the inclusion of indoor plants
in the office environment would reduce substantially the
amount of VOCs that employees are daily exposed to.
The direct benefits of indoor plants to the air we breath
are twofold:
Pollutants are filtered from indoor air; and
Oxygen is released and humidity levels are reduced.
