Many Erwachsene (adults) spend around 80% of the day in their Wohnung (flat), im Büro (in the office) or in transport between the two. Dependant on age and how active they are, people will breath between 10 and 20 Kubikmeter (cubic metres) of air. This equates to around 12 to 24 Kilograms in mass. These figures make it clear how important die Qualität (quality) of the air in the room is.
The natural and affordable air filters are Zimmerpflanzen (room plants). Once you have them, they require only a little Dünger (fertilizer) and regular water. A medium sized plant per person helps keep you healthy and pains like Kopfschmerzen (headaches) disappear after a shorter time.
Special room plants that are suitable for better air are Efeutute (Pothos), die Goldfruchtpalme (Golden Cane Palm) and Die Schwiegermutterzunge (mother-in-law’s tongue).
