Finding a Solution
The good people at NASA did a study using, yep you guessed it, houseplants to determine if they could indeed purify the air inside a space shuttle. To our delight their findings show that houseplants can play a wonderful roll in purifying indoor air. You don't have to be residing in a space shuttle for this news to benefit you. Anyone with environmental concerns can remove dangerous chemicals from their own living space.
Purifying Houseplants
Surprisingly some of the best purifiers are also some of the easiest houseplants to grow. NASA's list of best purifying house plants includes Spider plants, English Ivy, Bamboo Palm, Fiscus, Mother-in-law's Tongue, Peace Lily and Pothos.
