| Summary:
What does NASA have to
say about how common houseplants clean the air? Written by: Judy Feldstein |
|||||||||||||||
| The following information explaining how common houseplants clean the air is based on the findings of NASA and Dr. B.C. Wolverton. Dr. Wolverton is the leading expert in the area of clean air plants and author of several excellent books on the subject NASA was researching methods to clean the air in space stations when they discovered that many common houseplants and flowering plants were able to remove harmful gases from the atmosphere. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Dr. Wolverton & NASA found that plants also absorb benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene. They came up with a list of plants that specifically absorbed each of these toxins. Benzene: Formaldehyde Trichloroethylene: Not only are these plants beautiful and decorative, but they will also help you breathe a better quality of air. Studies have shown that in a home or office with 8-9ft. ceilings, one of these plants per hundred square feet or 10 square yards can improve air quality. The more plants you have, the better the air. A good rule of thumb is that an 1800 square foot facility should have about 15-18 potted plants.
