Due to the rising pollution levels, there has been a notable rise in the number of plants being kept in homes, mainly due to their natural air-purifying qualities. As the trend for indoor plants grows, the essential query arises: Can we depend solely on plants to tackle indoor air pollution, or are there other viable alternatives?
Plants' natural mechanism in combating air pollution:
Plants are recognized for their innate capacity to purify the air by absorbing airborne pollutants through the tiny openings known as stomata on their leaves. These pollutants are then transported to the roots, where they are broken down with the assistance of soil microorganisms. This microbial process aids in neutralizing the harmful substances, rendering them less toxic or safer, enabling plants to release oxygen into the atmosphere and enhance air quality.
Limitations with solely relying on plants:
1. Limited Scope: A high level of pollution can exceed the plant's handful capacity to naturally filter out pollutants. Further, to achieve effectiveness a large number of plants may be required which could be not feasible for everyone due to limited space in indoor environments.
2. Specific Pollutant Removal: Different plant species absorb and neutralize varying pollutants present in the environment.
3. Allergen Concerns: Some indoor plants can also produce allergens such as pollen and mold spores, which may lead to respiratory issues like asthma.
