Green Living Helps To Fight With the Polluted Environment

November 07, 2019

Green living has a deep relationship between the environment and human life. Both depend on each other. Human life develops well within a clean and pure environment but when the environment becomes polluted, it causes diseases and different types of mental and physical disorders and human life get degraded. Environmental pollution is the main cause of diseases because nowadays trees, plants, parks, forests, green areas, etc. have been reduced by the human behaviour and the environment is under threat and all sorts of environmental imbalances are occurring.

All living beings take in food and oxygen and give out carbon dioxide.

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O2 6CO₂ + 6H₂O (Respiration in animals)

Glucose + Oxygen carbon dioxide + water + energy trees

Plants take in carbon dioxide and provide food and oxygen

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆+ 6O₂(Photosynthesis in plants)

Carbon dioxide + water plus solar energy is equal to glucose + oxygen

Natural Balance:

Mother Nature has very smartly designed itself and has a complete proper system to keep a balance in the environment. The charged ions present in the environment, both positive & negative are the main ingredients to maintain freshness in the atmosphere. The natural positive and negative ions are found in abundance in forests, mountains, and sea.

In this way, the environmental balance is maintained hence all of us should plant trees on a large scale around us.

These days air quality is deteriorating and a large number of pollutants creates problems and challenges in the air.

To fight with these challenges at home there are only two ways:

Use air purifier at home which does the work of a natural environment.
Growing indoor plants.

1. Air Purifier

Functions of Air Purifier

Air purifier purifies the air by emitting positive and negative ions, as present in Forest-fresh air.
Eliminates 99.97% infection-causing germs from air and other surfaces and reduces 99.9% mould and mildew.
Purifier deactivates suspended airborne mould, viruses, dust mite allergens, pollens and bacteria of the closed room.
Very effective and contain high tech 3-stage filtration process.
Neutralizes bad odours and other toxic gases.
Removes static electricity from surfaces.
Reduces allergy triggers
Improves health and immunity
Regular use helps improve skin’s moisture levels and elasticity
The best thing about it is that it is very easy to use – just plug & enjoy the benefits.

Indoor Air Pollution Causes:

Usually, the indoor pollution occurs due to lack of sunlight, no proper ventilation, and the infrastructure of the house with furniture, shelves, kitchen, food smell, books, etc. create spaces that are the favourable breeding grounds for all kinds of INFECTION and ultimately one falls sick. One thinks that our houses are very clean but unfortunately remains unaware due to the non-visibility of the pathogens with the naked eye. No doubt air purifiers are the best, but one if cannot afford for it, go with the indoor green plants.

As it is not possible to purchase purifiers by everyone, so the substitute could be:

2. Growing Indoor Plants

Plants are the God gifted purifiers. In fact, NASA had conducted research into the power of indoors plants and found that there are over 50 houseplant types that remove pollutants and gases.

In addition to the above, plants have also shown to lower stress levels at home and in the workplace and also boost the additional health-
