Working in a biophilic office environment nourishes employees’ physical and mental health in many ways, such as reducing airborne pollutants, creating a calming atmosphere, among several others. Having plants and green walls in the office can improve air quality by removing airborne pollutants, reducing indoor CO 2 and producing oxygen.

These gases can directly damage crop cells and indirectly affect them through their role as precursors to formation of ozone, an airborne toxin known to reduce crop yields, and particulate matter aerosols that can absorb and scatter sunlight away from crops. Nitrogen oxides, or NOx, are among the most widely emitted pollutants in the world.

CFCs were destroying the ozone layer high in the Earth’s atmosphere, which is essential for protecting life from the Sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation. But when they break down, they create chlorine that reacts with the protective ozone, letting dangerous radiation through to the Earth’s surface. Why HFCs are a climate problem.
