The use of additives in salmon farming is a common practice to improve the growth and health of the fish, with common additives including probiotics, prebiotics, and immune stimulants.

Probiotics, such as Lactic Acid Bacillus B4, are used to improve fish growth and resistance to pathogens, and can also be used to reduce breeding time and risk in salmon farming.

Prebiotics, such as glucans, can be used to increase the production of probiotics in the body and improve fish and shrimp growth and immunity.

Other common additives used in salmon farming include essential oils, acidifiers, antioxidants, vitamins, amino acids, and enzymes, which can improve physiological processes and support immune system performance.

Uncommon additives used in salmon farming include Coix seeds and algae, which have antimicrobial properties and can be used to reduce the dependence on antibiotics.

The use of additives in salmon farming can have health concerns, such as the use of copper sulfate, which is toxic to humans and aquatic life, causing cell damage and death, as well as eye irritation and nausea.

Farmed salmon has been found to have higher levels of contaminants, including PCBs and methylmercury, which can pose health risks to humans, particularly pregnant women and children.

The consumption of farmed salmon more than once a month may increase the risk of cancer due to high levels of PCBs.

The standards and regulations governing the use of additives in salmon farming vary by country, with some countries having stricter regulations than others.

In China, the Ministry of Agriculture monitors veterinary drug residues in aquaculture, and the pass rate of veterinary drug residue monitoring is 99.9% in 2021.

The use of additives in salmon farming is also regulated in other countries, such as Canada, where the Minister of Agriculture met with BC Salmon Farmers to discuss regulations and co-develop a transition plan.

The plan aims to meet environmental objectives and protect wild salmon, and the sector is concerned about the rushed timeline for the transition plan.

Overall, the use of additives in salmon farming is a complex issue that requires careful regulation and monitoring to ensure the safe and sustainable production of salmon.

The health effects of consuming farmed salmon with additives can be detrimental, with potential health risks including increased cancer risk and developmental problems.

Consumers should be aware of the potential risks and choose wild-caught salmon as a healthier alternative.

The established safety limit for methylmercury in food is 0.5 parts per million, and the weekly intake limit for methylmercury is 96 micrograms for women.

The Joint FAO/WHO sets food additive limits, including limits for methylmercury, which is 1.6 mg per kilogram per week.

The use of additives in salmon farming is regulated by various agencies, including the Centre for Food Safety and the US EPA, which aim to protect human health and the environment.

However, more research is needed to fully understand the health effects of consuming farmed salmon with additives and to develop effective regulations to ensure the safety of farmed salmon for human consumption.

The use of additives in salmon farming is a common practice to improve the growth and health of the fish, with common additives including probiotics, prebiotics, and immune stimulants.

Journalist Hsu Chien-yi / reporting from Taipei
In recent years, the unusually high temperature in summer has led to the outbreak of germs, which has caused great losses to farmers. The probiotic Lactic Acid Bacillus B4, which helps to improve fish growth and enhance their immunity, and its glucan product Lactic Acid Bacillus B4 functional yogurt was added to the feed. Farming time to reduce the risk of breeding.
The water laboratory pointed out that glucan can be used as an emulsifier and thickener flavor carrier in food processing. In terms of health care, research shows that glucan can be used as a prebiotic to increase the number of probiotics - bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria in the body, and regulate immunity.
As mentioned in the water test, lactic acid bacteria B4, previously screened from the gut of perch fish, is a probiotic with special enzymes. Adding cheap sucrose can promote the production of glucan by lactic acid bacteria B4, and developed functional yogurt and ice cream containing glucan with lactic acid bacteria B4.

According to the water test, the literature points out that probiotics or prebiotics such as glycans and oligosaccharides as feed additives can effectively improve the growth and immunity of fish and shrimp. The combined use of probiotics and prebiotics is usually higher than the combined effect of the two alone. Probiotics that produce pathogens can also produce glucans themselves, so the lactobacillus B4 yogurt is applied to aquaculture.
Experimental studies show that the addition of lactic acid bacteria B4 yogurt in the feed helps to improve the growth and resistance to pathogens.

In recent years, due to climate change, the unusually high temperature in summer can easily lead to the outbreak of germs, causing the death of fish and loss of farmers. Three years ago, the Kaohsiung City Animal Protection Department sought technical assistance from the water laboratory. 4 Yogurt feed for 2 months, fish feeding conditions are better than the control pond, growth is very fast, at the end of May harvest, no disease, fish average weight 570 grams, strong and healthy.
When the fish are harvested, the fisherman must wear a safety helmet to avoid being injured by the energetic Wu Kuo. The fish in the control pond eat worse than the test pond and grow more slowly. In mid-June, the fish suffered from streptococcus disease. It must be treated with drugs. The average weight is 467 grams, which is much lower than the average. Test pool.
The water laboratory further stressed that in order to understand whether the feed containing lactic acid bacteria B4 yogurt can really survive the cool summer, and the Kaohsiung Municipal Bureau of Animal Protection specially arranged the test in the summer the previous year. The results showed that although the test group and the control group of the fish containing lactic acid bacteria B4 yogurt were all suffering from streptococcal disease, the test group were milder drug. The treatment only takes 3 days to heal, and the control group is more serious, requiring more than 7 days of drug treatment.
Therefore, the addition of lactic acid bacteria B4 yogurt in broccoli feed helps to improve the growth and health of the fish, shortens the breeding time, reduces the breeding risk and slows the severity of the disease, and the cost of adding lactic acid bacteria B4 yogurt per kilogram of feed is only about 0.5 yuan.

After finding it in the mackerel fish...
What is copper sulfate and what is its danger?
Follow the latest news through the app
A number of social media activists have circulated photos and videos in recent days about the presence of a bright and bright blue substance inside mackerel fish, known as copper sulfate, where Dr. Sharin Smart, Chairman of the Safety Committee of the Veterinary Syndicate, warned on her page, against eating any fish products containing copper sulfate, especially what citizens found inside mackerel fish, which is a toxic substance that destroys cells in the human body.
Foreign studies have shown fish mortality after copper sulfate was used as an algae control pesticide in ponds and lakes, where oxygen depletion and increased debris were cited as the cause of death for most fish after copper sulfate was used.
Sometimes due to sudden death and degeneration of algae and plants after use, even small concentrations of copper can be harmful to fish and aquatic organisms.
"Portal News" explains in this report the most important information issued by the National Center for Pesticide Information in the United States of America, and guidance services at the University of Oregon, about copper sulfate, its danger and how to deal with health about it.
What is copper sulfate?
The National Center for Pesticide Information of the United States of America explained that copper sulfate has been registered for use in pesticide products in America since 1956, it is an inorganic compound combining sulfur and copper, which can kill bacteria, algae, roots, plants, snails and fungi, and the toxicity of copper sulfate depends on the copper content.
What products contain copper sulfate?
Products containing copper sulfate can be liquids, dust, or crystals.
There are dozens of active products containing copper sulfate on the market, some of which have been approved for use in organic agriculture in America.
How does copper sulfate harm humans and the environment?
An individual can be at risk of copper sulfate if they use copper sulfate and come into contact with the skin, inhale it, or accidentally eat or drink any product.
This can also happen if the material touches an individual ’ s hand, eats food, or smokes without washing your hands first, so it is important to know the ingredients in each product that is used directly, whether by touching or eating, and you can reduce your exposure and reduce risks by carefully following all the label instructions.
Copper sulfate is associated with damage to cells leading to leakage and death, and copper disrupts the normal function of skin cells and enzymes in some organisms.
Symptoms of copper sulfate poisoning?
Severe eye irritation.
Nausea and vomiting;
Damage to body tissues, blood cells, liver and kidneys.
With severe exposure, shock and death can occur.
Copper sulfate affects animals in a similar way, including signs of poisoning in animals:
Lack of appetite, vomiting, dehydration, shock and death.
Diarrhea and vomiting may have a green-to-blue color.
Studies of many aquatic species have found that copper is highly toxic to fish and aquatic life, and trout, koi and small fish of several species are known to be particularly sensitive to copper.

Farmed salmon has been found to have higher levels of contaminants, including PCBs and methylmercury, which can pose health risks to humans, particularly pregnant women and children.

Study: Eating Too Much ‘ Farm Salmon ’ May Cause Cancer
A medical study published on Monday warned that overeating salmon raised in farm ponds could lead to cancer.
The Daily Newspaper noted.

A medical study published on Monday warned that overeating salmon raised in farm ponds could lead to cancer.
The Daily Express newspaper pointed out that "some previous studies found that salmon, jam in ponds, which is widely consumed around the world, doubles the risk of prostate cancer," pointing out that "salmon is a useful food source for health because it contains omega-3 fatty acids."
"While one salmon is caught in open water, like the seas, the other is bred in tight spaces (farms and ponds), which could have implications for human health," the paper said.
Studies have found that PCBs in farm-raised salmon were about 8 times higher than concentrations in wild salmon, adding that PCBs have been banned for commercial use for decades, but their effects can still be found in the environment, which may adversely affect human diet and therefore health.
According to a study by the Environmental Defense Fund, eating salmon raised in farm ponds on a regular basis may increase the risk of cancer after multiple cases of contamination have been detected in the United States and other countries.
"Medical scientific findings, published in the Journal of Medical Sciences, suggest that cheap farmed salmon sold in stores may do more harm than good."
“Risk analysis suggests that consumption of farmed Atlantic salmon may pose health risks that detract from the beneficial effects of fish consumption, ” the study said.
Eating farmed salmon more than once a month may be enough to increase the risk of cancer.
"In multivariate analyses, men with the highest concentrations of PCBs were twice as likely to develop prostate cancer than men with the lowest concentrations."

EU threatens food supply to developing countries
Thank you for reading the news about the « European » puts the food supply of developing countries at risk and now we start with the details
DAMMAM (Reuters) - The European Union is threatening food supplies in developing countries.
According to Karen Holliback, who chaired the Codex Alimentarius Commission from 2008 to 2011, the EU is currently engaged in a vague but hugely important bureaucratic battle at the United Nations, and if it does not back down, it could jeopardize the economies, and even food supplies, of dozens of developing countries.
She pointed out that the dispute revolves around the Codex Alimentarius Commission, which is sometimes described as “the most important organization you ’ ve ever heard of. ”
Under the law of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO), both UN agencies, the Codex Alimentarius Commission sets global safety standards for all foods traded internationally in a market of nearly $1.5 trillion.
Currently, FAO considers the EU and 188 other countries, rich and poor alike, members, and although safety standards set by the Codex Alimentarius Commission are voluntary, many developing countries eagerly embrace them because they lack the resources and technical expertise to set their own strict rules for food imports and exports.
Codex standards touch on almost every aspect of the food supply chain, from permitted additives to the level of residues that can remain in products and any supplements that can be given to livestock.
Creating an internationally applicable food code is an enormous and ongoing task as it adapts to ongoing agricultural and technological developments, and also requires extensive data collection, analysis, and scientific and technical assessment that can withstand rigorous scrutiny.
He added that the Codex works very well, and this is due to a mechanism called “statements of principles ”, which allows countries to individually object to the standard and record their disagreement, but in a way that does not prevent the adoption of the standard.
That dispute settlement mechanism had worked well so far.
But for now, the EU, along with Russia and China, is objecting to the adoption of a standard related to a generic veterinary drug called zilpaterol, which helps livestock convert feed into muscle more efficiently.
She noted that the union does not dispute the safety of the drug or health concerns, but opposes the standard for reasons related to consumer preferences.

And...
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has instructed relevant provinces to investigate and punish cases of illegal use of banned drugs according to law.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs requires all localities to continue to pay close attention to the supervision of inputs used in aquaculture, severely crack down on illegal activities in all aspects, do a good job of guiding the use of aquaculture standardized drugs, effectively prevent and control the hidden dangers of quality and safety, and make every effort to ensure the safety of aquatic products.

News Regulations aquaculture BC Salmon Farmers Association (BCFSA) British Columbia canada fish farming

BC Salmon Farmers had the opportunity to meet with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard (DFO) Minister Joyce Murray last week. Throughout the week, the Minister met with various salmon farming companies and other members of the BC Salmon Farmers Association (BCSFA) and toured several salmon farming facilities across Vancouver Island.

In addition to the tours, productive meetings were held between salmon farmers, suppliers, and the Minister, where she expressed her interest in co-developing a transition plan with the sector “that will provide a range of metrics and tools to meet environmental objectives and protect wild salmon.”

“Salmon farming is continuously evolving, improving, and innovating, which can come as a surprise to those outside of the farming community. It was a pleasure to meet with the Minister and her team to not only discuss these improvements but showcase them, as she visited several farm sites and a hatchery,” said Ruth Salmon, interim executive director for the BCSFA.

“It was heartening to hear that the Minister is seeking to work with us to support the development of the Transition Framework. In order to successfully drive further innovation and technology adoption, there needs to be flexibility to allow for various pathways. The ecosystems in which we operate, as well as the priorities of the Nations in whose territories we operate are diverse. We need to have a full suite of tools and options available to ensure we are meeting the expectations of the Nations, protecting wild salmon populations, and providing healthy and sustainable meals,” said Salmon.

While the salmon farming sector is fully committed to working with the Minister to develop this transition plan, it does have concerns about the rushed timeline that Minister Murray has set for this process. The short time frame set for consultations on the farmed salmon production areas in the territories of the Laich-kwil-tach, which has been referred to in the past as the Discovery Islands region, are of particular concern.

“The farms in these areas, are critical to the future of the sector, as well as to those First Nations who view salmon farming as a means to socio-economic stability for their communities. Given the importance of the production areas within the Laich-kwil-tach territories, our sector stresses the importance of those First Nations to be integrated into the larger discussion of the Transition Plan, instead of being addressed as a separate region,” added Salmon.

BC Salmon Farmers stated that they look forward to additional dialogue with the Minister around these important issues, as well as the opportunity to host more farming and processing tours in the future.

Social 10: 03 2022 / 01 / 17
Share:
Fifteen meatballs contain heavy metal mercury or methylmercury, and 29 pills per week of childbearing age are excessive damage to the nervous system of the fetus.
Breeders should choose meatballs carefully to avoid excessive amounts of heavy metals.
The Consumer Council tested a total of 60 prepackaged and bulk meatball samples in five categories on the market, of which 15 of the 30 seafood meatballs were found to contain mercury or methylmercury.
The highest methylmercury content was found to be 0.26 mg / kg in the fish egg sample of Johnson Fish & Egg Powder. After the Consumer Council referred the CFS for follow-up, the CFS said that the sample did not meet the relevant legal requirements.
The test included 24 prepackaged and 36 non-prepackaged meatballs. A total of 60 meatballs were sampled, including 20 beef balls (beef balls and beef tendon balls respectively), 10 kung balls, 10 fish eggs, 10 cuttlefish balls and 10 lobster balls. The average price of lobster balls ranged from $6.2 to $28.4 per 100g. The most expensive is beef tendon balls ($18.7).
The test items include genetic testing, heavy metals, preservatives, protein, fat and sodium content.
Due to the adverse effects of methylmercury on the development of the fetal nervous system, women preparing to give birth should be particularly careful. According to the Joint FAO / WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives, the tentative weekly tolerable intake of methylmercury is set at 1.6 mg per kilogram, assuming that a woman of reproductive age (i.e. a woman between 20 and 49 years old) weighs 60 kg and her weekly intake of methylmercury is 96 micrograms. Powder 1 egg weighs about 13 grams and will ingest about 3.4 micrograms of methylmercury.
In other words, a woman of childbearing age who eats 29 eggs per week will exceed the limit.
Suppose a bowl of fish egg powder has 5 pieces of fish eggs. If you eat the fish egg powder 6 times a week, it will exceed the limit.
The test also found that the preservatives sorbic acid, benzoic acid or sodium nitrite in 9 meatballs were found to contain the highest sorbic acid content in 4 of them, reaching 303 mg / kg.
As the Food Preservatives Regulation does not allow the addition of sorbic acid to beef balls, the Consumer Council has referred the test results to the CFS for follow-up.

Content: French Imported Frozen Dragon Leaf Samples Detected Methyl Mercury Metals Over-Standard Food Safety Center Order to Stop Sale
Written by: Leung Cho Er
Published: Updated:
The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) announced today (13) that a sample of frozen dragon's tongue from France was found to contain 0.8 parts per million of methylmercury, exceeding the legal limit of 0.5 parts per million. The CFS has instructed the importer, The House of Fine Foods Limited, to suspend and remove the affected products.

According to the CFS, a sample from France imported from France was taken for testing through the Constant Food Surveillance Programme. The result showed that the methylmercury content was 0.8 parts per million, 0.3 parts per million more than the legal limit of 0.5 parts per million.
Product information is as follows:
Product Name ： Frozen Dragon Lei
Place of Origin: France
Date of production: February 7, 2024
Best before this date: February 7, 2027
The House of Fine Foods Limited
The CFS called on the public to stop eating the affected batches of the products and immediately stop using or selling them if they are in possession of the products.
According to the CFS, the metal impurities in fish are mainly methylmercury. High intake of mercury can affect fetal brain development, as well as adult vision, hearing, muscle coordination and memory.
The World Health Organization has long pointed out that the consumption of hunter-gatherer fish is the main source of mercury ingestion by humans, and the CFS Total Dietary Study reports that the mercury content of larger or hunter-gatherer fish such as tuna, goldfish, shark, swordfish, swordfish, orange spiny and mackerel shark may be higher.
Therefore, the CFS urges pregnant women, women planning to become pregnant and young children, who are more vulnerable to mercury, to avoid eating the above fish and to choose smaller fish to reduce their intake of excessive metal pollutants.
The CFS quoted the World Health Organization (WHO) as saying that the consumption of hunting fish is the main way for humans to ingest mercury. (Photo)
Under the Food Adulteration (Metal Contamination) Regulation (Cap. 132V), it is an offence for a person to sell food with a metal impurity concentration above the statutory limit.
Offenders are liable on conviction to a maximum fine of $50,000 and imprisonment for six months.

A sample of fish eggs taken by the CFS from a restaurant in North Point was found to contain metal-heterogeneous methylmercury.
A sample of a bulk fish egg from a restaurant in North Point was found to contain methylmercury, which may be in violation of the Food Adulteration (Metallic Impurity) Regulation. Intake of large amounts of mercury will affect fetal brain development and damage vision, hearing, muscle coordination and memory in adults.
The Centre for Food Safety (CFS) of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) said today (31) that it was aware of the aforesaid non-compliance of the restaurants and related product suppliers involved, and requested that the sale of the relevant products be stopped. If there is sufficient evidence, prosecutions will be instituted.
Following up on a related incident, the CFS took the above samples from a restaurant in North Point for testing. The results showed that the samples contained 0.4 parts per million of methylmercury.
After the risk assessment, the CFS considers that the metal content of the compound food may affect health if it is consumed for a long period of time.
Mercury in fish is mainly methylmercury.
Some international bodies, such as the World Health Organization, have long pointed out that eating and catching of prey fish is the main way for humans to ingest mercury.
The Centre ’ s Total Dietary Studies report also indicates that mercury levels may be higher in larger or hunted fish, such as tuna, goldenfish, shark, swordfish, swordfish, cichlid and mackerel.
Therefore, people who are more vulnerable to mercury, including pregnant women, women planning to become pregnant and young children, should choose smaller fish when choosing fish to avoid eating the above fish, thereby reducing their intake of excessive metal pollutants.
Under the Food Adulteration (Metal Contamination) Regulation, it is an offence for a person to sell food with a metal impurity sufficient to endanger or impair health.
Offenders are liable on conviction to a maximum fine of HK $50,000 and imprisonment for 6 months.

State updates ‘Eat Safe Fish Guides,’ detailing what’s OK to consume

Posted at 5:22 PM, Aug 11, 2023
and last updated 2023-08-11 17:22:59-04

LANSING, Mich. — The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) released the 2023 update to its Eat Safe Fish Guides— guidelines for eating fish caught locally.

MDHHS says these guidelines are based on levels of chemicals found in the portions of fish that people eat, typically filets.

Test results from the MDHHS Bureau of Laboratories are used to determine what’s safe, in the long run, for people to eat.

“There are many health benefits to eating fish and the Eat Safe Fish Guides help individuals choose the fish that are best for them and their families,” MDHHS Chief Medical Executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian said.

Chemicals in fish are a worldwide issue. Those most commonly found in fish are mercury and PCBs.

Additional chemicals, like perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), have also been found in fish, resulting in these guidelines for fish from certain bodies of water in Michigan.

Similar to mercury, PFOS cannot be removed by trimming away the fat on the fish because the chemical is stored in the filet.

The state hopes Michigan fish consumers will use these guidelines so they can be confident they’re making informed choices about eating the fish they catch in local lakes and rivers.

The 2023 Eat Safe Fish Guides include recommendations for locally caught smelt, based on elevated levels of PFOS found in smelt:

  • Lake Huron: 6 servings per year
  • Lake Michigan: 1 serving per month
  • Lake Superior: 1 serving per month (has not changed from 2022)
  • Gull Lake— Kalamazoo County: 2 servings per month
  • Higgins Lake— Roscommon County: 4 servings per month
  • Portage Lake— Houghton County: 1 serving per month

Meanwhile, the “Do Not Eat” fish advisory, originally issued in 2018, remains in effect for a large stretch of the Huron River because of boosted PFOS levels.
The advisory starts downstream from where the river crosses N. Wixom Road in Oakland County to where the river crosses I-275 in Wayne County.

Additionally, it includes the following bodies of water:

  • Argo Pond— Washtenaw County
  • Barton Pond— Washtenaw County
  • Base Line Lake— Livingston/Washtenaw county line
  • Belleville Lake— Wayne County
  • Ford Lake— Washtenaw County
  • Gallagher Lake— Livingston County
  • Geddes Pond— Washtenaw County
  • Hubbell Pond, also known as Mill Pond— Oakland County
  • Kent Lake— Oakland County
  • Loon Lake— Livingston County
  • Norton Creek— Oakland County
  • Ore Lake— Livingston County
  • Portage Lake— Livingston/Washtenaw county line
  • Strawberry Lake— Livingston County
  • Whitewood Lakes— Livingston County
  • Zukey Lake— Livingston County

MDHHS says these guidelines are neither laws nor regulations, and you are not required to follow them.
Instead, the guides are a free resources to be used for more information about which fish, and how much of those fish, are healthy to eat from various bodies of water throughout Michigan.

7 Plants That Help Bring Down Room Temperature In Summer

During the sweltering summer months, maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature can be a challenge

Sujal ChawatheUpdated: Sunday, May 12, 2024, 01:14 PM IST

During the sweltering summer months, maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature can be a challenge. While air conditioning is a common solution, incorporating certain house plants into your home can also help cool down your space naturally. Not only do these plants add a touch of greenery to your interior decor, but they also act as natural air purifiers and humidifiers.

The logic behind how certain house plants can help cool the microclimate inside a room lies in their ability to transpire, evaporate water, and create shade. Here's a breakdown:

Transpiration: Plants absorb water through their roots and release it into the air through tiny pores in their leaves called stomata. This process is known as transpiration. As water evaporates from the surface of the leaves, it removes heat energy from the plant and its immediate surroundings, similar to how sweat cools our skin.

Evaporative cooling: When water evaporates from plants and pots, it cools the surrounding air. This process is called evaporative cooling. As the water vaporizes, it absorbs heat energy from the air, lowering the temperature in the vicinity of the plant. This cooling effect can be significant, especially in dry climates where evaporation rates are higher

Shade: The foliage of plants provides shade, which helps reduce the amount of direct sunlight that enters a room. Direct sunlight can contribute to heat gain indoors, especially during the summer months. By blocking or diffusing sunlight, plants help maintain a cooler microclimate inside the room.

House plants to keep your house cool

Snake Plant (Sansevieria trifasciata): Also known as the "mother-in-law's tongue," the snake plant is renowned for its ability to purify the air and thrive in low light conditions.
It releases oxygen at night, making it an excellent choice for improving indoor air quality while also cooling down your space.

Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis miller): Apart from its soothing gel that's great for sunburns, aloe vera plants also help reduce indoor temperatures through transpiration.
Their succulent leaves release moisture into the air, creating a cooling effect in the surrounding environment.

Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum spp.): With its elegant white blooms and glossy foliage, the peace lily is not only visually appealing but also effective at purifying the air.
This plant thrives in shady areas and helps maintain humidity levels, which can contribute to a cooler indoor atmosphere during hot summer days.

Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata): Boston ferns are prized for their lush, feathery fronds and their ability to thrive in high humidity environments.
Placing a Boston fern in your home can help increase moisture levels and reduce ambient temperatures, creating a refreshing oasis during the summer heat.

Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum): Spider plants are known for their air-purifying qualities and ease of care, making them popular choices for indoor spaces. They absorb indoor pollutants and release oxygen, contributing to a cleaner and cooler indoor environment.

Rubber Plant (Ficus elastica): With its large, glossy leaves, the rubber plant adds a tropical touch to any room while also improving indoor air quality. This plant is particularly effective at removing toxins from the air and releasing moisture, helping to cool down your home during the summer months.

Pothos (Epipremnum aureum): Pothos, also known as devil's ivy, is a versatile and low-maintenance plant that thrives in a variety of lighting conditions. Its trailing vines not only add visual interest to your space but also help purify the air and reduce indoor temperatures.

Incorporating these house plants into your home decor not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also promotes a healthier and cooler indoor environment during the summer. From air purification to humidity regulation, these plants offer natural solutions for beating the heat and creating a more comfortable living space.

Plants that help purify the air in your home and improve your mental health
Many people, especially women, tend to decorate their homes with houseplants, but the function of some indoor plants goes beyond decorations, as some species contribute to purifying and humidifying the room air.
Depending on the type and size, green plants can filter large amounts of pollutants, thus significantly improving the indoor climate.
Replacement plants for electric air purifiers
NASA has conducted a study that confirms that growing some plants inside the house may be a great alternative to expensive electric air purifiers, and then get a home filled with fresh natural air, as well as improve mood and mental health.
Many houseplants can be effective at detoxifying such as formaldehyde, benzene, trichloroethane and other air, which can be found in paints, cigarettes and carpets.
Best Home Plants for Air Purification
Ivy.
Ivy or spider is an ideal plant for pet lovers, as it reduces odors and absorbs gas from the use of cleaning products.
Prefer partial shade, that is, it may not be in the scorching sun nor in the dark shade.
Its green leaves are decorated with a white edge, making it particularly decorative, and also filtering pollutants such as formaldehyde and xylene from the air.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is known for its benefits to the body, and this evergreen plant has air purifying properties, producing oxygen 24 hours a day, including at night, and is therefore especially suitable for the bedroom.
Dragon Tree
A home plant that is easy to care for, and the dragon tree may reach a height of 2.5 meters, and is very suitable for air purification, because it can filter pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde, toluene and trichloroethylene, but it is less suitable for families with children or pets, because the leaves can be toxic.
Lilies of peace
According to the German website Stern, peace lily is one of the best air purification plants, removing toxic gases such as benzene, formaldehyde and carbon monoxide from the air.
It is also a beautiful looking plant, carrying bright dark green leaves and beautiful white flowers.

The school received an environmental subsidy of NT $220,000 two years ago to plant large Dumbo flowers to form a green wall, which helps to cool down the temperature and purify the air, and also to install an automatic sprinkler system to maintain the ecology of the green wall.
According to the Environmental Protection Bureau of Chiayi City Government, since 2019, the Environmental Protection Department has promoted the vertical air green wall project. Since 2019, three schools, including Xingjia, Jiabei Elementary School and Jiabei Elementary School, have installed climbing plants on the school's daughter wall and the balcony of the classroom.
The Environmental Protection Bureau of the Chiayi Municipal Government said that this year, the Environmental Protection Agency expanded the target of subsidies, in addition to the original subsidies of public middle school, public elementary school, public preschool institutions, public welfare groups, public facilities, environmental protection night market, civic activity center and other venues, air green wall subsidies of 3,000 to 6,000 yuan per square meter, single subsidy ceiling of 400,000 yuan.
According to the Municipal Environmental Protection Agency, according to the results of the study, vertical green walls can reduce the concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), suspended particulates (PM10) by about 40% and 60%, but also reduce the concentration of indoor fine suspended particulates (PM2.5) by about 10%, ozone by about 30%, and indoor temperature reduction by about 1.8 ℃.
According to the city's Environmental Protection Bureau, the appropriate plant types are lily bamboo, firecracker red, Yunnan yellow carnation, turtle, Boston kidney fern, hydrangea, African pansy or panthera, and can be selected according to the space planning and installation requirements, so that the space is more beautiful.

Houseplants can reduce air pollution by up to 20% and remove half of nitrogen oxide in a room within an hour.

Content: These plants are very important in the home.
Much improved air quality.
Ordinary potted houseplants can contribute significantly to reducing air pollution in homes and offices, according to new research led by the University of Birmingham and in partnership with the Royal Horticultural Society.
In a series of experiments that monitored common houseplants exposed to nitrogen dioxide (NO2) - a common contaminant - the researchers calculated that in some circumstances, plants could be able to reduce nitrogen oxides by up to 20%.
The researchers tested three houseplants, commonly found in UK homes, that are easy to care for and not too expensive to buy.
They included peace lily (Spathiphyllum wallisii), corn plant (Dracaena fragrans) and ferns (Zamioculcas zamiiifolia).
Each pot, on its own, was placed in a test chamber with nitrogen oxide levels comparable to an office located next to a busy road.
Over the course of one hour, the team calculated that all plants, regardless of species, were able to remove about half of the nitrogen oxide in the room.
They also noted that the performance of plants was not dependent on the plant environment, for example whether they were in lit or dark conditions, and whether the soil was wet or dry.
Lead researcher Dr Christian Pfrang explains: “The plants we chose were very different from each other, yet they all showed strikingly similar abilities to remove nitrogen dioxide from the atmosphere.
“This is very different from the way indoor plants absorb carbon dioxide in our previous work, which is heavily dependent on environmental factors such as night or day, or the soil ’ s water content. ”
The team also calculated what these results might mean for a small office (15 m3) and a medium-sized office (100 m3) with different levels of ventilation.
In a small, poorly ventilated office with high levels of air pollution, they calculated that five houseplants would reduce nitrogen oxide levels by about 20 percent.
In the larger area, the effect will be less - 3.5% although this effect will increase with the addition of more plants.
While the effects of plants in reducing nitrogen oxides are obvious, the exact mechanism by which these plants perform is still ambiguous.
Dr Befrang added: "We don't think plants use the same process as they do to absorb carbon dioxide, where the gas is absorbed through holes - small holes - in the leaves.
"There was no indication, even during the longest trial period, that our plants released nitrogen dioxide back into the atmosphere, so a biological process is likely to occur that also involves the soil in which the plant grows - but we don't yet know what it is."
In the next phase of research, the team will design sophisticated tools for modelling indoor air quality across a wide range of variables.
The new project will use portable air quality measurement tools to identify pollutants and test their effects in both residential and office spaces, allowing a large amount of data to be collected to guide future research.

Selected plants can purify air with low maintenance, making them suitable for various indoor spaces and climates.

Title:

Content: In order to improve the environmental air quality and let children learn with peace of mind, the Taichung Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau has continued to build a clean air green wall in the school. This year, 12 schools in Jianping Elementary School, Juren Elementary School and Chongde Elementary School have received subsidies from the Environmental Protection Department.
According to the Environmental Protection Bureau, through the installation of clean air green walls, indoor air quality can be improved. At present, space such as classroom corridors and flower stands outside the daughter wall in Taichung City can be planted, which can achieve the benefits of dust retention, air pollution absorption and temperature regulation.
In order to strengthen the protection of the school environment for children, the Taichung City Environmental Protection Bureau expanded the subsidy for the construction of a clean air green wall on the campus, and the current subsidy amount to 1.76 million yuan, with an area of 358 square meters.
The Environmental Protection Bureau stressed that currently selected plants that can purify the air and do not need to spend too much money and time to maintain include the Dragon Tubeh, the Junzi and Wu Bamboo, the Turtle, the Cannonflower or the Honeysuckle.
How good is the effect of clean air green wall?
According to international research, vertical clean air green walls can reduce the concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM10) by about 40% and 60%. In addition, green walls can also reduce the concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in classrooms by about 10% and the concentration of ozone (O3) by about 30%.
Green wall is the most natural and energy efficient air purification facilities, no need to plug in electricity, self-circulation, to achieve the purpose of air purification, can be called the "most environmentally friendly air purifier".
Chen Hongyi, director of the Environmental Protection Bureau, said that in addition to blocking outdoor pollutants and improving indoor air, the air green wall can also adjust the temperature and drive energy conservation and carbon reduction. Next year, Taichung City is expected to expand the subsidy target, including community activity centers, public kindergartens and environmental night markets.

Horticulture for body and mind
In the spring of 2021, on the balcony of our apartment, we planted a pot of branches that had been pruned by others, and a pot of fiery dragon seedlings that had been inserted into it survived, and in the summer and autumn of that year, a flower was opened and a fruit was born.
Now in 2022, the summer and autumn season, seven flowers, seven fruit, red look very like; and at the beginning of March this year, a pot of egg flowers (also known as sunflowers), August flowers, the flowering period is still very long, also very good-looking.
Some people say that dragon fruit and egg flowers are sold in the market, what is special?
I said it felt different when I planted it myself!
Recently, I read an article written by the British psychiatrist Sue Stuart Smith, "Gardening Heals the Heart", and I think it is very reasonable. Smith said that gardening is the physiological and psychological nourishment of people.
People forget about gardening, get inner peace, there is a sense of healing; into gardening, the self disappears, there is an inner sense of calm.
Horticulture must be a combination of human creativity and natural creativity in order to be successful, and it is good that people have ambitions.
However, how bold people are, how productive the land is, is absurd, can not be realized, people and the natural growth of cooperation will have positive expectations, bring goals and momentum, feel that gardening pull us forward.
Gardening is also a game, Smith said, and is done in an adult way.
Seeing that the plants they planted have grown roots and survived, that sense of accomplishment does not lose other competitions.
In addition, depression, indifference or sad emotions are completely gone, which is extremely beneficial to the body and mind.
Horticulture is best started with something that is easy to grow, be patient, mistakes are not disasters.
In contrast, human relationships are complex and demanding. Through their own hands, they consciously move, watering, fertilizing, loosening, pruning, cutting leaves, removing insects, changing pots and harvesting, etc., not only to move the body, beneficial to health, but also to move people ’ s minds. It is a kind of meditation, although not only in gardening, but using nature ’ s creativity and adapting to its development can be successful. Alone.
May we all start with a simple, easy, not afraid of failure, there will always be good results.
