A simple and effective way to help alleviate what
is commonly known as “sick building syndrome”
is to introduce flora into the environment. Many
plants through photosynthesis can synthesize
and neutralize pollutants. The plants below are
from a list of tested and approved NASA greenery.
THE PROBLEM THE SOLUTION
Indoor air pollution is a growing concern for a
population spending more time indoors. There
are obvious pollutants like cigarette smoke, gas
exhaust, and cleaning products, and then there
are the less obvious - like toxic chemicals released
by the "off gassing" of synthetic materials.
