Summer is coming, with high temperature, low air pressure and high humidity. In order to escape the heat, people often stay indoors and enjoy the cool in air-conditioned rooms, which have become a small castle for our happy life in summer. But if you stay in the "air-conditioned room" for a long time, will you feel dizzy, tired, irritable and impatient? Many people may think that it is physical discomfort caused by work pressure and other reasons, but I don't know that the air quality in air-conditioned rooms will also have a certain impact on the body!
In summer, when the air conditioner is turned on at home, the doors and windows are usually closed, resulting in no air circulation. Over time, indoor air lacks circulation, just like stagnant water. The oxygen content in the air will be lower and lower, and the carbon dioxide concentration will be higher and higher, which is also one of the reasons for dizziness and chest tightness. CCTV Finance has reported that air conditioning can cause a series of diseases such as allergies and asthma attacks, and also bring symptoms such as general malaise, joint pain and neck pain.
High temperature and heat are inseparable from air conditioning. The air conditioner has been blowing for a long time and has a lot of discomfort. Is it really impossible to have both "coolness" and "health"? Tell you quietly, in fact, it is good to put some small plants at home! Plants give people a pleasant and soft feeling. With their company, it seems that the whole summer is fresh and green.
Indoor plants not only have ornamental value, but also can improve indoor air quality. China Indoor Environment Monitoring Committee has studied the subject of purifying indoor environment with plants, and found that many indoor plants have purification function, which can effectively reduce the concentration of indoor pollution.
The experiment showed that formaldehyde with concentrations of 0.39 mg/m3 and 0.47mg/m3 was used to fumigate six indoor ornamental potted plants, such as chlorophytum, ivy and watercress, for 24 hours. The results showed that when the concentration was 0.47mg/m3, the formaldehyde removal rate of the whole potted plant reached 33%.
Moreover, planting leafy plants on the balcony and placing plants indoors to form a barrier can effectively reduce noise and radiation. When the fruit of Phyllostachys praecox is ripe, it can be cooked. Vanilla can be planted on balconies, windowsills or kitchens. When they are flourishing, you can pinch off a few pieces to get fresh and healthy kitchen seasoning. In addition, indoor plants such as geranium can repel mosquitoes.
