Green Wall : well-being

Health and Serenity

Everyday life in urban areas is often associated with concrete jungle, traffic noise and pollution.


How does this affect our well-being?

AIR QUALITY

Le monde dans lequel nous évoluons est chaque jour un peu plus pollué. Les milieux urbains se répandent et les taux de pollution des grandes villes atteignent des sommets. Cela est vrai en intérieur comme en extérieur.

THE RISKS

 

Different elements like Formaldehyde (CH2O), VOCs, Trichloroethylene (TCE) and Benzene (C6H6) are found in numerous everyday objects such as furniture, paintings, wallpaper and even certain cosmetics like nail polish. The hazard linked to these components is the development of asthma-related respiratory problems such as coughing and wheezing. Carbon monoxide (CO), a toxic gas generated by gas cookers and heating appliances, is also present in high concentrations of cigarette smoke and vehicle exhaust fumes. Low level exposure can cause dizziness and headaches and long- term exposure can have much more serious consequences.

WHAT A VERTICAL GARDEN OFFERS

 

Livings walls are not a miracle solution to the pollution caused by humans, but they do bring nature into our cities and our interiors. The virtues of plants are well-known: they act as a natural filter and produce oxygen through photosynthesis.

Certain chemicals can be eliminated by plant roots or their associated microorganisms which break down and assimilate these chemicals.
