Health Benefits of Houseplants
Houseplants not only add beauty to our indoor living and working spaces, but they are an inexpensive way to improve indoor air, reduce illness, and benefit our mental health.
Because Alaskans tend to spend so much time indoors during the winter months, poor indoor air quality can have a significant impact on our health. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are introduced to our living and work environments by carpet, linens, furnishings, adhesives, paint, and other products made from or treated with chemicals. Not surprisingly, according to the EPA, levels of these chemicals average 2 to 5 times higher indoors than outdoors, often polluting the air enough to irritate respiratory systems and cause headaches, sinus congestion, and fatigue. Studies by the EPA even link VOCs to cancer as well as liver, kidney, and nervous system damage.
