Today, most of us spends about 90% of our time indoors. This means it is more important than ever to create an environment that takes care of our health and well-being. After all, it is health that is the real wealth.
"Health is a state of complete physical, mental & social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity"
With an environment free of discomfort, improved physical, visual, thermal and acoustic comfort, it allows one to better focus on tasks more efficiently. And we tackle a big portion of the habitability threshold with the help of plants!
We have all heard about how plants play a vital role in purifying our air, but what exactly are they filtering out and why does that matter? The indoor air has drastically changed for the past half a century as a result of new building materials and treatments that are being introduced. These are some of common toxins found in several common items in our everyday lives and some of the harmful effects they have on bodies.
Though these information may be very scary, the good news is, manufacturers are changing the way they produce their products. However, many of the harmful toxins are still essential.
That is where Vertical Green comes in! Using the NASA Clean Air Study research, we incorporating plants with abilities to remove the toxins in offices is a great way to tackle indoor pollution. With cleaner air, chances of employees falling sick will decrease!
