Plants That Clean the Air
Researchers have discovered that certain tropical and flowering plants
reduce concentrations in the air of the �big bad three� pollutants
formaldehyde, benzene and trichloroethylene by up to 90%. To give three
examples: spider plants and Boston ferns have a taste for formaldehyde;
peace lilies absorb trichloroethylene; and English ivy and chrysanthemums
eat up benzene.
Plants literally �suck up� air pollutants, including cigarette smoke and
possibly radon, while microbes around plant roots destroy harmful viruses,
bacteria and chemicals.
