Poluarea aerului din interiorul locuintei este un subiect inca putin analizat si dezbatut, desi impactul asupra sanatatii este impresionant de mare.
González-Martín et al. (2020) aseaza cateva cifre:
- in Europa, 90% din timp este petrecut in interiorul unei cladiri;
- productivitatea angajatilor scade cu 15% din cauza calitatii aerului necorespunzatoare de la locul de munca;
- 1 din 10 decese are intre cauze poluarea;
- 5,5 milioane de persoane mor prematur anual, din cauza poluarii aerului din interiorul cladirii.
Prezentam mai jos cele mai recente cercetari respectiv publicatii in domeniul purificarii aerului din interiorul unei cladiri cu ajutorul plantelor.
Parerile sunt diverse, asa cum este bine sa fie, dar exista un nucleu comun - in proportie mai mare sau mica, plantele ajuta la curatarea aerului.
