Benefits Of Office Plants
We feel that having an office free of toxins increases productivity, attitude and overall well-being. Here are some facts about the benefits of having plants in the workplace.
Newly constructed or tightly sealed buildings, which were built with heating and cooling efficiencies in mind, are prime candidates for "sick building syndrome." Tenants can experience respiratory irritations, coughing, sore throats and difficulty breathing. Headaches and frequent illnesses have also been reported in "sick buildings."
Studies have tested the following major indoor pollutants and found that most ornamental indoor plants can help clean the air of at least one type of toxin. Some indoor plants have the ability to remove up to three of the most common toxins (Benzene, Formaldehyde and Trichloroethylene).
Research recommends placing one ornamental indoor plant per 100 square feet of office space. Select large leafy plants and mix plant species to combat the full range of toxins.
