When autumn and winter smog is heavy and respiratory diseases are common, these natural purifiers should be brought home

Every year when the weather turns cold, especially after heating starts, the air quality index in many places begins to show a red warning.

Autumn and winter smog is heavy, and respiratory diseases are common. Having already suffered from bad air outside, how can you not have a patch of "pure land" at home? It is time to bring these purifying green plants home in advance. Keeping some at home is greatly beneficial to your health.

Pothos

When it comes to plants with a purifying effect, the first one people think of is pothos.

According to research by environmental scientists, one pot of pothos in a room of 8-10 sq m is equivalent to an air purifier. It can be seen that the purifying ability of pothos is very strong. It can effectively absorb formaldehyde, benzene, nicotine and others in the air. Whether or not your home has just been renovated, placing two pots is very good.

Monstera

Monstera can not only absorb renovation pollution and purify the air, but its greatest advantage is that it can absorb carbon dioxide from the air at night, and its absorption capacity is far higher than other green plants. Place one pot in the bedroom to clean the room's air and let you have healthy sleep.

Ivy

Ivy is the champion at absorbing formaldehyde. The leaves of ivy can absorb 1.48 mg of formaldehyde per sq m. At the same time, it can also effectively absorb harmful substances and dust in the air through the tiny stomata on its leaves.

Peace lily

Keeping a pot of peace lily in autumn and winter is just perfect. Its high evaporation rate can effectively prevent nasal mucosa from drying out and reduce the possibility of respiratory diseases. At the same time, it can also inhibit waste gases exhaled by the human body such as ammonia and acetone, and filter carcinogens in the air.

Boston fern

Boston fern is called "the most effective filtering plant." It can effectively filter out harmful substances and mold in the air, and it can also help increase the humidity in the air.

Alocasia

Alocasia can effectively absorb carbon dioxide from the air and filter out dust and harmful substances. Although alocasia is poisonous, as long as you do not touch it or mistakenly eat its stems and leaves, there is completely no problem. Just be careful if there are children or cats and dogs at home.

Milan

Milan is a "natural scavenger." It can effectively filter indoor air, and the fresh fragrance it gives off also has a bactericidal and disinfecting effect, and can to a certain extent relieve the human body from infection by infectious bacteria.

Aloe

Aloe can not only absorb odors and purify the air, but can also serve as an air inspector. When the air is bad, spots will appear on the leaves of aloe, which is reminding you that you need to pay attention to indoor air health.

Besides the plants mentioned above, there are many other green plants that purify the air. Flower lovers can choose the ones they like and keep a few pots. For the health of your family, hurry up and keep a few pots now!
