With the advancement in technology and increased living standard, something as basic as the air we breathe has been sacrificed in its quality badly affecting human lives. According to a report by the World Health Organisation, 4.3 million people worldwide die due to poor air quality prevailing inside the house. Around 3.8 million premature deaths occur annually from non-communicable diseases due to exposure to air pollution. However, our mother nature has given us some natural solutions to combat the grave issue of air pollution. There are some great plants that if kept at our homes not only beautify them but also work as fantastic natural air purifiers.

Here we have got for you a list of indoor plants that will help in reducing the air pollution within your homes and increasing the good air content.
