Plants against Pollution
Approximately 300,000 vehicles navigate the streets of Chisinau, contributing to pollution that impacts our skin, hair, and the air we breathe. This pollution extends into the spaces where we live and work.
“Sick Building Syndrome” is a term used to describe symptoms experienced by those working in enclosed offices, including eye and nose irritation, sore throats, headaches, drowsiness, fatigue, and dizziness.
Indoor air pollution results from toxic emissions released by synthetic building materials, moisture, and chemicals, combined with energy-efficient designs that minimize air circulation. These factors release toxins such as benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, and toluene, which are found in rubber, detergents, textiles, medications, plastics, paints, laminates, and paper.
Fortunately, we can enhance indoor air quality with plants. Plants absorb these toxins, convert them into harmless by-products, and store them in the soil, where they can later be used as nutrients.
Return to Nature
It’s remarkable how a stroll in the park can rejuvenate us when we’re feeling worn out. Immersing ourselves in nature helps reduce stress and mental fatigue, enhancing our sense of relaxation, self-esteem, and confidence.
Even just touching green leaves can have a soothing, calming effect on us. The Lean vs. Green study underscores that indoor plants not only boost productivity but also improve employee health and reduce the number of sick days taken.
