It feels extremely sad that air pollution levels are rising in India each day. Recently a study revealed that 7 out of 10 world's worst air polluted cities are in India. And my home city is on 7th number in this list. The 92 most-polluted  cities of the world all had an "unhealthy" average annual presence of the particles, which can penetrate deep in the lungs and bloodstream and cause a wide range of adverse health effects, including premature death in the most extreme cases.

The open burning of waste is one of the major cause for air pollution in India as it leads to the exposure of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, mercury, dioxins, etc. There are various other reasons for air pollution in India including mass burning of crop residue, traffic congestion, use of public vehicles with obsolete engines releasing harmful gases open to the environment.

Not only the air outside your house is polluted but the air inside your house is polluted too. We need to care about that as well. there are various air purifiers available in the market and the markets of air purifiers are increasing with air pollution. Just like the need of other machines in the house this new machine is also becoming important. But there are other ways to clean your environment and your interior space. These are indoor plants which does not need so much sunlight but continuously produces Oxygen and refreshes the air and is also cost effective. And this will also help you to give your house a new look and some greenery and peace.

I am going to introduce some of these plants to you. Some of these can be very easily found. These include snake plants or mother in law tongue's plant, money plant, areca palm and many more. I am including some pictures of these plants that I planted inside my house.These plants can be easily grown from cuttings. I have put cuttings of money plant and snake plant into glasses of water for 2- 3 weeks so that the roots will grow. After which I will plant them into soil for their better and fast growth.
