12 NASA-approved plants that actually improve air quality.
The three toxins included in the NASA study are benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene , and these volatile organic compounds are virtually everywhere. Benzene is in glues, paints, furniture wax, and detergents. Formaldehyde is in composite wood products such as plywood, as well as in building materials and insulation, glues, permanent press fabrics, paints, coatings, lacquers, finishes, as well as paper products.
The study looked at how the leaves, roots, soil, and associated microorganisms of plants reduce indoor air pollutants. It found that the plant root zone plays the biggest role. For your indoor plants, it means that the more plant roots and soil area are exposed to air, the better the plant purifies the air. In other words, larger pots or containers with a bigger soil surface are better than smaller ones.
The NASA Clean Air Study also combined the plants with activated carbon filters that purified large volumes of polluted air, thereby speeding up the air-cleaning process. While installing carbon filters is not something most of us will do in our homes, the findings on houseplants stand on their own and have become like the golden reference list for air-purifying houseplants.
