Dear ozbargainers,
I'm living in a room with less ventilation.
I'm thinking of buying a plant to put inside my room for oxygen. Is it dangerous to put plants inside for oxygen. Because I heard rumours that at night the plants release CO2.
If not dangerous, are there any suggestion of plants that give the best trade off for oxygen?
Any advice would be great
Ridiculous to suggest OP has an airtight room.
Yeah, Scrimshaw is the one being ridiculous here…
Doh, they we just using this example, to show how small an impact one plant would have e.g. - very very little benefit for the OP.
Like 3-500 plants would be very hard to fit into one small room
Maybe take a big deep breathe and read a little closer next time 😄
3-500 of the right plants in a room could make you a lot of money though.
@greenpossum: Plenty of ventilation in those rooms though. Bars allow much more airflow than flyscreen.
If you listen very closely, you can hear the police sirens playing in the background..
Dangerous putting plants indoors? Thats a no. Otherwise too many would have died by now going inside glass houses and biodomes.
You gonna need loads of plants and even then it wont produce nearly enough oxygen.
Dont get everyone wrong OP, getting a nice indoor plant may make you feel better and less enclosed (placebo affect), but purely from a scientific stand point, you would need a significant number of plants (a small forest) to make a noticeable difference.
Don't forget that plants consume oxygen in the absence of light. But having a plant around may cheer you up.
True, but probably not to the point where you would become deficient of oxygen.
Also don't forget that plants only create oxygen in the presence of light. And the light that a room is usually lit with won't do diddly - the plant will just sit there slowly doing not much at all.
I'm guessing you didn't pass high school science/biology.
This can't be a serious question. Did you just finish watching the crap movie called The Happening?
They are an international student if you read their long list of posts some rather bizarre… 😊
eg one day wants to get advice re girlfriend, and trip to Surfers, when 2 days earlier wanted advice for their wife about meals at the Gold Coast
What can i say. Someone canoeing in two different pond. 😊
I know some international students, some of which are in high school age. None of them ever thought having plants in the house could be dangerous lol!
That's why I said it was old wives tales
I am born here
Then why in this by you post did you say
I am an international university student that is going to start working casual job in Australia

Or are you just making posts and other stuff etc up?

was. I was born here.

"I am born here" is the first line of Charles Dickens' novel David Copperfield. When he wrote that line, however, he was using the narrative present: First line of book = first day of life for David Copperfield = the character DC is born. Otherwise, it's idiomatic to say "I was born…" You can say "I'm from Paris" if you were born there but don't live there now, but it's strange to say "I'm born in Paris in 1990" (1900 is virtually impossible for all intents and purposes today)

Being serious here, OP perhaps you should see a psychiatrist.

But from this article, assuming you are living in an airtight, airlocked room, and your goal is to produce enough oxygen to create a self-sustaining biosphere with plants as CO2 scrubbers:
