A growing body of global research is showing plants can reduce dust particles and contaminants, such as formaldehyde and benzene, that come from cigarette smoke, paint, furniture, building materials and other sources.
Six or more plants in a 1,200- to 1,500-square-foot house could achieve noteworthy contaminant reductions.
The hardest working filtering plants include:
- English Ivy
- Mother-in-Law's Tongue
- Weeping Fig
- Peace Lily
- Devil's Ivy
- Flamingo Flower
- Janet Craig
- Asparagus Fern
