Fresh Air at Work

We all know air pollution is bad for our health. But did you know that it also impacts productivity? A Harvard

Business Review study found a 5-6 per cent fall in productivity among office workers when the AQI is unhealthy, that is, between 150 and 200. Cities like Delhi have these AQI levels for half the year. Investing in an air purifier is not a luxury but a necessity.

While an air purifier is a must, we also suggest you brighten up your workspace with a few indoor plants that purify air. NASA’s Clean Air Study has found that there are several air purifying plants that can detoxify your home from airborne toxins, dust and germs. These include English Ivy, Snake Plant, Spider Plant and Aloe Vera, among others.
