                     Why is it important for your health to have indoor plants 
in your bedroom? 
The bedroom is a shelter for most of us where we can relax and have a sound sleep. 
But there are some chemicals present in the air of our bedroom like formaldehyde, 
trichloroethylene, and benzene. Formaldehyde is found in carpet backing and insulation 
materials. 
Trichloroethylene is present in our dry cleaning product and benzene comes from the 
paints and solvents in our room. These chemicals are distributed into the air and affect 
the quality of our sleep. By adding some bedroom plants you can reduce the effect of 
these chemicals. You can breathe and sleep in the fresh air.
