Indoor Plants for Cutting Down the Air Temperature and Improving the Air Condition

Humans have a close relationship with nature, so integrating nature into indoor space could effectively increase people’s engagement with nature, which in turn may benefit their health and comfort. Humans spend 80 to 90% of their time indoors; thus, the inside area of the house or office plays an essential role in our health and wellness. Modern-day impervious sealed constructions keep away noise pollution and heat at the cost of fresh air in the indoor environment through reduced air exchange. In Northern India, the temperature goes up to 48 ºC, by which heat makes the indoor climate worst with the challenge of humidity. Low humidity level enhances the susceptibility of infections like viral fevers; on the other hand, higher than optimum levels also have impacts on human health. The use of air-conditioning and fanning units creates temporary exposure to temperature, which can harm our health. Indeed, these standard air-conditioning devices are known as “brewers” of bacteria and viruses in closed indoor spaces. Exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOC) can cause a series of effects towards human health. VOC is also associated with Sick Building Syndrome and other building-related illnesses
