Improving Physical Health
​
Plants have a real and significant impact on people’s health. The research showed that even a small number of plants can reduce minor health symptoms.
The increased humidity that plants bring helps to keep our mucous membranes healthier, which in turn reduces hoarseness, coughing and a dry throat by around 30%. The higher humidity levels also lead to a decrease of skin irritations. Headaches and fatigue drop significantly - by at least 20% - when interior plants are present.
Improving Mental Health
The amount of time we spend in natural surroundings has a profound impact on our mental health. This is due to something known as biophilia – the innate need that humans have to connect with nature and other forms of life. It has been known for many years that views of nature help hospital patients to recover more quickly, but did you know that plants can also help people to feel less stressed and anxious while at work?

Improving Humidity
​
The air inside buildings tends to be dry, and this is especially true of air conditioned offices. Dry air and inadequate ventilation contributes towards ‘sick building syndrome’ by causing health problems like skin irritation and itchy eyes, as well as coughs, colds and headaches. It can also exacerbate respiratory problems such as asthma.
Introducing interior plants into an office space increases the humidity levels, and reduces these minor health problems among staff. In fact, studies have shown that plants can reduce sick building syndrome by around 25%, and thus reduce absenteeism and increase the overall health of workers.
Purifying the Air
Purifying The Air
​
Plants help to purify the air we breathe by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen into the air during photosynthesis.
​
Indoor plants also reduce the amount of harmful toxins in the air. A 1989 study by NASA found that interior plants absorb VOCs – volatile organic compounds – such as trichloroethylene (TCE), benzene and formaldehyde. All these chemicals are known to cause health problems such as skin, eye and nose irritation. The NASA study shows that indoor plants absorb VOCs through the soil and leaves, effectively and significantly reducing the amount of these toxins in the air.
​
​TCE is considered a liver carcinogen by The National Cancer Society. Benzene is one of the most common chemicals found in everyday use, yet it has long been known as a skin and eye irritant. Exposure to benzene has also been blamed for symptoms such as dizziness, weakness, headache, nausea, blurred vision, respiratory diseases, tremors, irregular heartbeat, and liver and kidney damage to name just a few. Formaldehyde irritates the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose and throat.
About Us
We are an Environmental Protection company using nature and our technology to reduce Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in all aspects of life, and replacing these harmful toxins with enriched air quality and increased Oxygen levels using organic processes.
​
​With over 40 years of combined experience in the horticultural industry, waste management, and electrical engineering industries, we have focused our expertise to offer a range of life changing products aimed at improving the well-being and quality of life for all of our clients.​​
​
Our vision is that every home, workspace and public amenity area has reduced levels of toxins (VOC's) with increased oxygen levels. We believe that this can be achievable with the extensive range of RCA indoor & outdoor products. We can reduce the levels of various pollutants and harmful VOC's within these areas while at the same time increasing the concentration of enriched Oxygen.
​
ALL of our RCA products operate with the same technology. Offering the equivalent cleansing process of several hundred plants within the space of just one plant.
​​
Analysing our diagnostic data allows us to highlight our plant selection which includes choosing the right hyperacumalators to target specific chemicals that may have be present in the area.
​
Through the entire process from design stage to completion we work closely with our clients for a bespoke design for each specific site.
