The oxygen from these plants are fresh and clean, especially when it comes from indoor gardens because these are not exposed to harmful radicals or dusts most of the time. Studies show that indoor plants trap at least 90% of the air pollutants present in our homes and in any other building structure, which come from paints, air conditioners and other appliances. This means that when you are into vertical indoor gardening, body issues like headache, colds, dizziness, sore throat and other similar illnesses brought about by air pollution are greatly reduced.
