Malassezia is a normal component of the skin flora; however, in pityriasis versicolor this fungus transforms from yeast cells into a pathogenic mycelial form. This may occur due to hot and humid weather, hyperhidrosis, the use of topical skin oils , a genetic predisposition , immunocompromised individuals , those receiving oral contraceptive therapy, and malnourished individuals .

Since Malassezia is lipid-dependent, it commonly presents in areas with greater sebum production. As such the upper body is frequently affected and pityriasis adolescents due to a higher sebum production.

5 Plants to Control Air Pollution

5 Plants to Control Air Pollution

“LET’S OPT FOR THESE PLANTS ON THE OCCASION OF

NATIONAL POLLUTION CONTROL DAY-2-Dec-2021”

Trees and plants are as important to humans as air and water, but human settlements are built by cutting them down. Man is paying a heavy price for this. He has to live with pollution. Countless diseases are being embraced, but now man has realized his mistake. By planting new trees, he is now paying off the debt of nature. Along with this, efforts are also being made to reduce the pollution of cities by increasing greenery in all the cities of the world.
For this, it is necessary to first know where the level of pollution is and then trees should be planted there accordingly. At the same time, it is also important to understand that trees improve the quality of the air, and not completely clean the air. To make the air clean, it is necessary to minimize carbon emissions.
Plants act as lungs for the atmosphere. They release oxygen and purify the air by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The leaves of plants also absorb dangerous elements like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide and make the air clean. Not only this, many types of polluted

elements stick on the velvety twigs and leaves of the plants and get washed away when water falls.
Pollution is more on roads than in residential areas. Therefore, trees with more dense and broad leaves should be planted here. The wider and denser the leaves, the more pollution they will be able to absorb. A research suggests that plants with small fibrous leave also plays an important role in controlling PM. For example, trees like cedar and cypress act as good air purifiers. Research has found that the leaves of these trees have the highest ability to absorb the toxic elements of PM 2.5.

If you want to find a concrete solution to the problem of air pollution, then these 5 plants should be planted in your own house.

1. Areca Palm

Areca Palm

It is also called living room plant.
It absorbs toxic gases like formaldehyde, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide from the air and gives clean oxygen.
For oxygen in the house, plant 4 Erica palm plants up to shoulder height and clean its leaves daily.
It needs to be kept in the sun once in three to four months.

2. Mother-In-Law’s Tongue Plant

Mother-In-Law's Tongue Plant

It is also known as snake plant and bedroom plant.
Its most surprising thing is that it converts carbon dioxide into oxygen even at night.
To provide clean air for a man, plant 6 plants of waist height or height up to three feet inside the house.

3. Money Plant

Money Plant

Many people think about this plant that planting it in the house brings money, but this is not directly true.
Although this is indirectly true, because this plant cleans chemical toxins from the air and releases fresh air into the atmosphere, which keeps our health better, we get less sick and do not need to go to the doctor, which saves money.
Perhaps for this reason people would have named it Money Plant.

4. Golden Pothos

Golden Pothos

The name of this plant is also very big in the list of air purifier plants.
This plant; Grows in the light of bulb or tube light.
This plant can survive even in very humid environment.
This plant plays an important role in eliminating carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide gas
If you plant 3 plants of three feet height of Golden Pothos in the bedroom, then it will keep the environment of the entire bedroom pure.

5.Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemum

This plant is not only known for its beautiful flowers but is also the most effective against indoor pollution.
It prevents five types of air pollution formaldehyde, benzene, trichloroethylene, xylene and ammonia.
Apart from the above mentioned plants, there are some other plants which play a very important role in reducing pollution.
These are: Bamboo Palm, Dracaena reflexa, Chinese evergreen, Peace Lilies, English Ivy, Boston fern, Dwarf Date Palm, Spider Plant and Weeping Fig.

So if you are looking for a way to get rid of air pollution and are spending a lot of money on air purifiers then just install the above mentioned plants in your house and get sustainable solution from air pollution at less cost.

Man is the best creation of nature. As long as he does not interfere with the work of nature, his life goes on smoothly and naturally.

  • The term cage-free inform that the animals were not kept battery cages and instead allowed move freely over a large area of open land.
  • They are still in an enclosed facility, but with unlimited access to food and fresh water.
  • This health claim does not mean that animals were free to roam in pastures or that they had access to the outdoors. Many cage-free claims are not certified, making it a misleading label.

GRASS-FED FOOD LABLES 

grass-fed food labels

  • If an animal is grass- fed and grass-finished then their feed was composed entirely of grass, legumes, and green vegetation up until the animal was slaughtered.
  • However, this label does not address the use of antibiotics, growth hormones, or pesticides.

  • Grass-fed beef is leaner and has been shown to have healthier omega-3 fatty acids.

FREE RANGE FOOD LABLES 

Free Range Food Labels

  • Small local farmers mostly use organic methods, but sometimes cannot afford to become certified organic.

PASTURE-RAISED FOOD LABLES

pasture-raised food labels

  • A “pasture raised” claim on meat, poultry, dairy, or egg labels means that the animals were raised spend more time outdoors than indoors, not continually confined indoors.
  • USDA has not developed a definition for this term yet; however; many farmers use it to distinguish themselves from “free range” farms.
  • This differs from free-range and the most norm label to look for when selecting eggs and chicken.

POINT TO BE NOTED
