What flowers and plants can absorb decoration pollution?

With the improvement of people's living standards, the requirements for family living environment are getting higher and higher, and family decoration is becoming more and more luxurious and comfortable, but people are greatly distressed by the indoor air pollution after decoration. According to the survey data released by China Interior Decoration Association on March 1 1 2005, the indoor harmful gases such as formaldehyde, benzene and trichloroethylene seriously exceeded the standard by more than 60% in the air detection of thousands of newly decorated families by the Indoor Environmental Pollution Monitoring Committee. Inhaling these harmful substances for a long time will do great harm to the body.

It has long been known that houses should be fully ventilated and deodorized after renovation. However, experts suggest that after ventilation and deodorization, it is best to put some green plants at home to purify the air for a long time. After renovation, some anti-pollution flowers and plants can be placed indoors, which can also play the role of "air purifier". Decorating indoor environment with green plants and building a "green family" are effective ways to eliminate indoor chemical pollution, improve indoor environmental quality and improve living comfort. So what kinds of green plants can play such a role?

Green plants that can absorb formaldehyde are: aloe and chlorophytum. According to the test, aloe absorbed 90% formaldehyde in 1 m3 air under 24-hour illumination. Chlorophytum can absorb 86% formaldehyde. Especially for newly renovated families, pots of aloe or chlorophytum can be placed in every room indoors, which can greatly reduce formaldehyde pollution in the air.

Green plants that can absorb benzene: ivy, Boston fern and nightshade. Ivy can make 90% benzene in the air disappear. People who deal with paints all day should put at least one pot of ferns in the workplace, because it can absorb benzene substances. In addition, it can inhibit xylene and toluene released by computer monitors and printers. Sunflower can evaporate 1 liter of water every day, which is the best natural "humidifier". In addition, its green palm leaves have a very effective purification effect on xylene.

In addition, daisy, evergreen and begonia can effectively eliminate indoor trichloroethylene pollution. Roses are woody flowers of Rosaceae. According to experiments, it has a strong absorption ability for gases harmful to human body, such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen fluoride, benzene, phenol and ether, and also has a strong resistance ability to sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, chlorine gas and nitrogen dioxide. It is also an ideal flower to resist air pollution. Rhododendron, Lagerstroemia indica and Gardenia can purify the air.

Attachment: Twenty Good Habits of Saving Environment 1. Air conditioning 18℃ in winter and 26℃ in summer. Adjust the air conditioning temperature to below 18℃ in winter. If you feel a little cold, you can put on more clothes. Such a simple measure can save electricity, thus reducing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide emitted by coal-fired power generation and slowing down climate warming.

In summer, the air conditioning temperature is adjusted to above 26℃. The air conditioning load in big cities accounts for about 40%~50% of the maximum power supply load in midsummer. Increasing the air conditioning temperature from 22℃~24℃ to 26℃~28℃ can reduce the power load 10% ~ 15%, and reduce the power consumption by more than 400 million ~ 600 million kWh. Sweating in summer is beneficial to people, which can enhance metabolism, regulate endocrine function and promote autoimmunity.

2. Take more buses and subways, which is energy-saving and convenient. Please travel by bus as much as possible. Buses can transport more people with less energy. If a lane is dedicated to private cars, it can only pass 700 cars and about 2,000 people per hour at most, but if the lane is dedicated to BRT, it can transport about15,000 people.

Don't be extravagant when going out to eat, save the packing fee. According to a survey, there are at least more than 10% leftovers in a table of meals in ordinary restaurants in China, and a restaurant will dump 50 kilograms of leftovers every day on average. According to statistics, China wastes as much as 60 billion yuan on the dining table every year. As long as the amount is moderate, you can avoid waste, save packaging and save money.

4. Using paper on both sides to save paper everywhere is to protect the waste of forest paper, which is extremely amazing in government agencies and some enterprises and institutions. Paper production mainly comes from wood, and saving paper means protecting forests. China loses 6 million tons of waste paper every year, which is equivalent to wasting 2 million mu of forest resources. The easiest way to save paper is to use it on both sides.

5. Use energy-saving lamps instead of light bulbs, saving electricity by nearly 80%. If you want to buy products that have passed the national energy-saving product certification, you can judge by whether the word "festival" is printed. Under the same luminous flux, energy-saving lamps save 80% electricity compared with incandescent lamps. The cost of purchasing energy-saving lamps can be recovered from the electricity savings of 8 ~ 10 months.

6. It is a habit for people to turn off the lights in an empty room. Many people like to make their houses brightly lit, and many governments like to carry out lighting projects. Maybe we don't care about the extra monthly expenditure of120 yuan, 0 yuan, but this behavior is aggravating the energy shortage, which will prompt the country to build more thermal power plants to pollute the environment and hydropower stations to destroy the ecology.

7. Garbage classification is not littered for recycling. In garbage, about 50% is biological organic matter, and about 30%~40% is recyclable. In 2000, six kinds of recyclable wastes were produced in China: 4,654.38+0.5 million ~ 0.43 million tons of waste steel, 6,543.8+0.2 million tons of waste non-ferrous metals, 850,000 ~ 920,000 tons of waste rubber, 2.3 million ~ 2.5 million tons of waste plastics and 6,543.8+1. At present, the value of usable but unused waste in China reaches 25 billion yuan every year, and about 3 million tons of scrap steel and 6 million tons of waste paper are not recycled. The recovery rate of waste plastics is less than 3%, and the recovery rate of rubber is 3 1%. Only more than 6 billion waste dry batteries contain more than 70,000 tons of zinc and 654.38+10,000 tons of manganese dioxide every year.

8. Buying food, carrying baskets, carrying bags and reusing plastic bags for countless times have accounted for half of white garbage, and plastic bags have become the main pollution source. People who love environmental protection should take the initiative to use cloth bags and vegetable baskets instead of disposable plastic bags to reduce white pollution in cities.

9. Putting a brick in the toilet tank can save water and is very economical. Now the toilet has become a necessity for residents' life. A family of three often pays about 65,438+00 tons of water for the toilet every month. Whether you put a brick in the water tank or a coke bottle filled with water, you can reduce water consumption every time, save water and alleviate the shortage of fresh water resources.

10. It can save a lot of water resources to mop the floor with washbasin wastewater or flush the toilet to wash vegetables to avoid running water. Storing water in a bucket after use is a good habit of saving the environment and saving a lot of water resources.

1 1. Carefully selecting energy-saving appliances is a hard indicator. Since March 1 2005, China has taken the lead in implementing the "energy efficiency labeling" system for refrigerators and air conditioners. The "energy efficiency label" is posted on refrigerators and air conditioners, and is divided into five grades according to the energy efficiency from high to low. Be careful not to make a mistake, the first stage is the most energy-saving and electricity-saving. Ask consumers to identify the "energy efficiency label" and buy energy-saving home appliances.

12. Turn off the power supply without electrical appliances to save electricity. 10% can see all kinds of electrical appliances at home and office, such as TV and computer. Please turn off the power when not in use. In the standby state, the standby power of the TV set is 8.07W, the air conditioner is 3.47W, the computer monitor is 7.69W, the PC host is 35.07W, and the range hood is 6.06W Turning off the power can not only save your electricity bill, but also protect the environment.

13. Buy a car and re-select the economy. If you plan to buy a private car, please buy a model with small displacement and low fuel consumption. Its greatest advantage is energy saving. Of course, we very much hope that you can join the bus family, because the number of motor vehicles in major cities is close to saturation now.

It is predicted that by 2020, half of China's oil will be imported, and the oil price is still rising, which has threatened national defense security. The state has issued the standard "Fuel Consumption Limit of Passenger Cars" to restrict the launch of high fuel consumption vehicles. As an ordinary consumer, please choose a car with high fuel efficiency as your first choice.

14. Traveling with toiletries and towels saves less resources. Traveling to Europe and America is often reminded to bring a toothbrush, and even "bringing a toothbrush" is understood as "traveling" in a sense. In China, disposable toothbrushes are the "standard" of hotels, and it is the travel habit of many people in China to travel without toothbrushes. However, disposable toothbrushes are made of monochromatic polystyrene, which is difficult to recycle. A large number of disposable toothbrushes have become sand in the hotbed of hot environment. According to incomplete statistics, at present, tourists in China consume an average of 6.5438+0.04 million disposable toothbrushes every day, that is, 5 tons of discarded monochromatic polystyrene are produced every day; It consumes 380 million disposable toothbrushes every year, that is, it produces waste monochromatic polystyrene 1800 tons every year.

It costs 76 million yuan to produce these disposable toothbrushes, and it costs100000 yuan to recycle these monochromatic polystyrene.

In this way, we will spend 86 million yuan on these disposable toothbrushes every year, which has caused great waste of resources and environmental pressure.

Paying attention to environmental protection and public welfare is our common pursuit. In order to reduce "white pollution" and protect Mother Earth, dear travelers, we appeal to you: Take your toothbrush and travel! At the same time, we also call on many hotels and hotel managers to promote the concept of thrift when providing disposable toothbrushes to passengers and make their own contributions to environmental protection.

At home, our sheets are often washed only once every few months, but when staying in a hotel, many people ask for the replacement of sheets and towels every day, and the staff will bring them to wash them without complaint, but this has caused great waste. In fact, we can completely save these wastes.

15. Take more stairs to exercise, take less elevators and use less electricity. Please take the stairs when you go up and down the stairs, which will save energy and exercise. Relevant figures show that the energy consumption of office elevators accounts for 8% of the total energy consumption, and that of hotel elevators accounts for 10% of the total energy consumption.

16. Wear less suits and ties in summer to save electricity. Urban white-collar workers still wear suits and ties in hot summer, and the office has to turn on high-power air conditioning. Why not make your life easier? Casual T-shirts will make customers feel more friendly. If you are not attending a special occasion, reducing clothes can increase the set temperature of the air conditioner and reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioner to save electricity.

17. Don't let water flow everywhere forever. Every year10 billion tons of water, not a drop of water leaks, insignificant, but it has been dripping, and the amount is considerable. It is estimated that Didi can collect 3.6 kilograms of water in 1 hour; 1 month can collect 2.6 tons of water. This water is enough to supply a person's living needs. It can be seen that every waste should not be. As for the continuous small water flow, it can collect 17 kg per hour and 12 tons per month; Roaring "running water" can collect 670 kilograms of water per hour and 482 tons of water per month. Therefore, water conservation should start from a little bit.

Turn off the tap and repair it as soon as possible if it leaks. Every year, tens of billions of tons of valuable fresh water are lost in China because of leaking taps.

18. The work efficiency of the post is high, and repetitive work is wasted. In order to reduce the use of air conditioners in summer, some countries have begun to implement the four-day working system, but working 12 hours a day is very humane and efficient. However, many of our government agencies have large air conditioners, but the posts are often vacant, and people smoke on the balcony, which is very inefficient. This inefficient work efficiency leads to a lot of energy waste. The air conditioner in the office is always on, and the lights and computers are always on, wasting precious resources everywhere.

19. Cars stop one day a week to relieve congestion and save energy. On June 5, 2006, the Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau made a high-profile publicity in Beijing to drive one day less every month. On this day, 200,000 cars in Beijing were not on the road. Although road congestion and air pollution relief are limited, it is a good start. Many officials and entrepreneurs get off work in the same car, which leads to a lot of traffic jams and dirty air. Driving one day less can relieve traffic pressure and save energy.

20. When you see waste on the road, you can save a lot if you don't save around. Everyone needs to participate in saving. Everyone should dare to put forward their own opinions when they see bad social behavior and call for attention to saving the environment. After all, what we waste is the precious resources left by our ancestors, and it is also the precious resources of our children's life.
