Kamal Meattle shares the link between indoor air quality (and oxygen levels) with higher productivity. Returning with more research and experience after his 2009 TEDTalk in which he talks about growing fresh air.
A must watch talk if you wish to increase your productivity by altering your work and living space.
Kamal Meattle, a TED speaker, is an indoor air quality expert who as the CEO of the Paharpur Business Centre and Software Technology Incubator Park (PBC-STIP), in New Delhi, has created an office that is known to enhance productivity because of its great indoor air quality. The building publishes its air quality index every day, and tracks its compliance to the 10 principles of the UN Global Compact, a corporate-citizenship initiative. With its air-filtering plants and sustainable architecture, Kamal Meattle's office park in New Delhi is a model of green business. Meattle himself is a longtime activist for cleaning up India's air.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Thank you! I'm going to get more plants right now and will flush air more often! It is helpful to note than with undisturbed air, the CO2 hangs down at the bottom of the pool. The CO2 may then ride with the coldest air out the front door if we open a 2nd-story window to cold air.

Now air purifier costs 7-10 K. And pulse oximeter costs 1.5k to 3k. CO2 meter is very costly though.

The only thing you need to do to output higher productivity is reduce working week and office hours! 5 days a week 9-5 is an absolutely ridiculous amount of time to be sitting at a PC!

wait do plants produce ozone?if not then why do we need an air purifier if we can just get more plants? please explain

@mirzashehroj1005 6 жыл бұрын

TabalugaDragon it does not . Air purifier need only when you cant switch to air purifier plants.

I'm unsure as of now if plants can help you with PM2.5 or PM10 . So if you are in a place that has PM2.5, PM10 problems, ( > 50 or 100 AQI) then you'll need to use air purifiers.

Air purifiers grab what plants dont.

@perspectiveswithjonah1054 5 жыл бұрын

Let me explain. The biological process of purification is extremely slow. Even slower or completely negligent when it comes to removing PM2.5. In fact PM2.5 is extremely hazardous to the plants as well as they penetrate and deposit over it. Basically if you want to purify a room of 100sq ft, you would need about 100 plants in the same room which is not a viable solution. Air purifiers with HEPA on the other hand remove 99% of the PM2.5 in about 15-20 mins. It is way more effective than a plant. Plants can be a long term sustainable solution, but air purifiers are way more efficient and compliment the Co2 purification of plants doing what air purifiers cannot do(of absorbing Co2 and giving of O2) and in turn air purifiers remove the PM2.5 which the plants cannot remove effectively. We can look forward for a sustainable relationship between technology and nature. All this time we have neglected sustainability and that is why we are in the condition we are today.
