Indoor plants go beyond just making an office environment feel warm, they clean the air of powerful toxins known as VOC's. These toxins are found in carpets, paints, cleaning agents etc. There are some 400 identified toxins known to be present in indoor office air.My own office has plants everywhere. When I walk into work each morning I do notice the feeling of happiness the environment brings to me, but then again I work around nature, even our lunch room overlooks a lake.
Workcover Authority of NSW recommends plants be used in the workplace to help alleviate characteristics of Sick Building Syndrome. You only need 1 plant for each 10sq metres. So don't let absenteesim cost you money, for as little as $3.50 a week you can have a living mini garden on your own desk. Don't work in a cupboard, get close to nature to keep you happy and productive.
