STUDY: Having House Plants Lowers Risk Of Cancer

A study conducted by researchers from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), in collaboration with plantscaping solutions company Ambius, has found that having house plants lowers the risk of cancer.

Plants not only brighten up a dreary room, they may also save you from cancer! While many people may know plants produce oxygen, researchers say they can also soak up harmful chemicals in the air. University of Technology Sydney (UTS) researchers, in collaboration with plantscaping solutions company Ambius, have found that plants can remove almost all cancer-causing fumes from a room.

“We know that indoor air quality is often significantly more polluted than outdoor air, which in turn impacts mental and physical health. But the great news is this study has shown that something as simple as having plants indoors can make a huge difference,” says Ambius General Manager Johan Hodgson.

According to the World Health Organization, poor indoor air quality is responsible for 6.7 million premature deaths around the world. Most people spend 90 percent of their time inside of a building, whether that’s at home, school, or work. Because of this, it’s really important to have effective strategies in place to help mitigate the harmful effects of air pollution.

Plants can clean up a room in 8 hours

The team found that the Ambius small green wall, which has a mix of indoor plants, was highly effective at removing carcinogenic air pollutants — removing 97 percent of the most toxic compounds from the surrounding air within eight hours. Previous studies have also shown this, but this one is the first experiments to show that plants can remove petrol (gasoline) fumes, which are one of the largest sources of toxic compounds in buildings around the world.

“This is the first time plants have been tested for their ability to remove petrol-related compounds, and the results are astounding,” says Associate Professor Fraser Torpy, the study leader and a UTS bioremediation researcher, in a university release.

Studies have shown that surrounding yourself with plants could improve your concentration by up to 20% and increase your ability to recall information by 15-20%, which demonstrates how plants can change your state of mind.
