Plants to buy in Qatar that eat pollutants
Qatar is a dusty country, to say the least, and has unfortunately been ranked as one of the worst by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in terms of its air quality. There are many reasons for this—construction, cars and so forth.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), “studies of human exposure to air pollutants by EPA indicate that indoor levels of pollutants may be 2 to 5 times—and occasionally more than 100 times—higher than outdoor pollutant levels.”
Results showed that plants were helpful in removing toxic chemicals from the air called volatile organic compounds (VOCs)—including things like formaldehyde, benzene, trichloroethylene—all potential carcinogens that can be off-gassed from materials used in constructing homes and buildings.
Here are a few of the green options that are readily available and easy enough to care for.
1. Golden Pothos

2. Spider Plant

You can buy them at Ikea or at wholesale market. There is a whole street full of nurseries on both sides of the street. Haloul street.

You can find almost all of them at IKEA.
Environment will take care of it by itself, all we need to do is be sincere & honest in our duty to our employers at work and for family at home.
Where can we buy these plants from? Can anyone suggest a nursery?
Qatar should start planning for plantation immediately. it can be started from every house or mosque or offices like they can use their empty spaces for plantation.
How about introduction of vehicles running on renewable energy sources?
