Can air conditioning purify indoor air?

The air pollution is quite serious now, and various PM2.5 levels exceed the standard. If we go out, we can wear masks to prevent it. But when you return home, you certainly cannot wear a mask all the time, as the quality of the air in the house is directly related to the health of the elderly and children. Therefore, indoor air purification becomes very important, and many people are concerned about the function of air conditioners in this regard. So, can air conditioning purify indoor air? Let’s take a closer look below.

Air purification refers to the engineering discipline that removes pollutants such as particulate matter, harmful air, bacteria, etc. from the air within a certain space, and controls the indoor temperature, cleanliness, pressure, air flow velocity and distribution, noise vibration, lighting, and static electricity within a certain required range.

Air Purifying Plants

1. Cactus: the best plant to reduce electromagnetic radiation.

Cactus has a strong anti-inflammatory and sterilizing effect. When it comes to dealing with pollution, cactus is the best plant to reduce electromagnetic radiation. In addition, cacti absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen at night. Placing a cactus in your room at night can replenish oxygen and help you sleep.

Green ivy has strong vitality and a strong ability to absorb harmful substances. It can help improve the air quality in rooms that are not often ventilated. Green ivy can also eliminate harmful substances such as formaldehyde, and its function is no less than that of ivy and spider plants.

3. Money tree: fights against waste gas produced by burning tobacco.

The money tree is evergreen all year round and can absorb toxic gases and release oxygen through photosynthesis. It can absorb carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide pollution relatively effectively and has a certain effect in resisting the waste gas produced by tobacco burning.

Lucky bamboo can help improve the air quality in rooms where windows are not often opened for ventilation, and has a disinfection function; especially in bedrooms, lucky bamboo can effectively absorb exhaust gas and improve the privacy of the bedroom.

5. Bamboo palm: eliminates heavy metal pollution and carbon dioxide.

The function of bamboo palm is similar to that of Monstera deliciosa. As a large-leaf ornamental plant, bamboo palm can absorb more than 80% of various harmful gases and purify the air. At the same time, bamboo palm can eliminate heavy metal pollution and has a certain resistance to sulfur dioxide pollution. Of course, as foliage plants with large leaves, their biggest feature is that they have the ability to digest carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, which is unattainable by ordinary plants.
