There are all kinds of unwanted pollutants in the air. Eastern Parkway Florist has the solution. The next time you are at your local plant store, or doing business with us, Eastern Parkway Florist, be sure to remind the shopkeeper to tell you about phytoremediation. This is the process with which plants purify the air.
To decorate your home or office space and not include plants is to miss out on the magic. Plants do not just add an aesthetic gift to the room, but they are just about the healthiest imaginable decoration nature can provide.
Sure, you’ve heard of photosynthesis. Need a reminder what it is? No problem. Photosynthesis is the process in which plants convert light energy, carbon dioxide and many other gases into fuel for growth.
Plants actually absorb gases through pores in the surface of their leaves. These green friends have the power to remove 90% of the toxins in just 24 hours. Some of these common harmful gases which plants absorb are Benzene which is found in fabrics, cigarette smoke, pesticides and some plastics; formaldehyde which is found in dish detergent, carpet cleaner, fabric softener and cosmetics. Some others are common molds and bacteria found in households. Ammonia and trichloroethylene are others.
Just cleaning the house does not get rid of these unwanted contaminates. Plants help to eliminate these volatile organic compounds (VOCs). And it is very important that they accomplish this. That is because these indoor air pollutants have clearly been shown to cause a plethora of acute conditions such as respiratory illnesses, asthma and certain kinds of cancer.
The way that indoor plants remove these unwanted pollutants from the air is by absorbing gases through roots and pores in their leaves. Also, the microorganisms living in the soil of potted plants play a humungous role in neutralizing volatile organic compounds as well as the various other pollutants.
According to some of our sources, the most useful plants for air purification are spider plants, areca palms, peace lilies, aloe vera, Boston ferns, snake plants, English ivy, golden pothos and Japanese royal ferns. Some others are Florist’s Chrysanthemum, bamboo palm (which eliminates xylene and chloroform), Mother-in-Law’s Tongue, Weeping Fig, Devil’s Ivy, Janet Craig, Asparagus Fern. There are more and still more that are yet to be discovered.

We eat lots of fresh fruit because of the nutritional benefits such as minerals, vitamins and high fiber content. Here are some food safety tips.
Breaking research has found that fresh fruit consumption is associated with lower risks of both heart attacks and stroke. These findings came from several annual studies examining about 500,000 Chinese adults. Participants were chosen on the basis that they didn’t have a history of anti-hypertensive treatments or heart disease before participating.
