What are radiation-proof plants? A detailed introduction to common varieties
As is well known, electromagnetic radiation in daily life is harmful to the human body. There are many ways to protect against radiation, and one of them is using plants. There are many radiation-proof plants, and today we will give a brief introduction to them, so let us take a look together.
What are radiation-proof plants
1. Spider plant
Spider plant can absorb 95% of carbon monoxide and 85% of formaldehyde in the air, can absorb harmful gases in the air, can release oxygen within 24 hours, and can break down harmful substances in benzene and nicotine. It is called a green purifier and has the best effect among radiation-proof potted plants.
2. Swiss cheese plant
Swiss cheese plant has the effect of absorbing carbon dioxide at night, which is very helpful for improving indoor air quality and increasing oxygen content. It has the characteristic of preferentially adsorbing harmful gases such as formaldehyde, benzene and TVOC, and can achieve the effect of purifying indoor air. It is an ideal indoor plant.
3. Pothos
Pothos, also known as golden pothos, can absorb harmful gases such as benzene and trichloroethylene from the air and convert them into substances inherent to the plant, purifying the air. Moreover, pothos is a green plant that is relatively easy to keep alive, and placing it next to a computer has a good effect on absorbing radiation.
4. Cactus
When radiation-proof plants are mentioned, the first thing many people think of is the cactus. The cactus is the best plant for reducing electromagnetic radiation. The cactus not only has a strong anti-inflammatory and sterilizing effect, but can also absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen at night. Placing a cactus in the bedroom at night can supplement oxygen and help with sleep.
5. Weeping fig
Weeping fig can not only increase the humidity of a room, but is also beneficial to our skin and breathing. At the same time, it can also absorb formaldehyde, xylene and ammonia and purify turbid air, effectively protecting against radiation. In addition, the small leaves of the weeping fig make it a beautiful decoration in a room, and it is the exclusive radiation-proof plant for many pregnant women.
6. Echeveria
Echeveria, named for its shape resembling a lotus seat, is a succulent plant. Echeveria has a unique form and is simple to care for, making it very suitable for home cultivation, and it stands out among radiation-proof plants.
7. Aloe
Aloe is a common indoor radiation-proof plant. Aloe can both protect against radiation and purify indoor air. One pot of aloe can absorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide, and it is especially strong at absorbing formaldehyde. When the harmful air indoors is too high, spots will appear on the aloe leaves, which is a distress signal.
8. Snake plant
Snake plant, also called tiger skin plant, gives off a light and elegant fragrance and is a "little pollution-control expert." Snake plant can release a large amount of oxygen and also has a relatively strong ability to absorb electromagnetic radiation, making it suitable for placing next to a computer.
9. Maidenhair fern
Maidenhair fern can absorb 20 micrograms of formaldehyde per hour and is known as the most effective biological purifier. It can inhibit xylene and toluene released from computer monitors and printers, and is one of the most effective radiation-proof potted plants.
