NASA Clean Air Study: Air Filtering House Plants
« on: January 04, 2014, 03:29:49 AM »
Hi All,

NASA compiled a list of air filtering plants they've done research on. Many of them are fairly common, such as peace lilies. Almost every Home Depot in the USA has peace lillies.

"Most of the plants on the list evolved in tropical or subtropical environments. Due to their ability to flourish on reduced sunlight, their leaf composition allows them to photosynthesise well in household light."  Very interesting!
