Use Plants To Clean The Air On Clean Air Day 2022

It’s Clean Air Day! An entire day dedicated to raising awareness of the dangers of air pollution and the benefits of breathing clean air.

The theme for Clean Air Day 2022 is taking steps to improve health. Indoor plants naturally remove CO2 from the air, offering an abundance of health benefits.

How do plants clean the air?

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the importance of clean indoor air has never been more important. High levels of irritants in the atmosphere can cause people to feel unwell, leading to headaches, nausea, sore throats, and dry eyes. 

Plants offer a natural way to remove irritants from their air, making a clear link between plants and air quality. By removing irritants, plants leave people feeling healthier and more alert, all while creating a welcoming environment.
