Finding a Solution
The good people at NASA did a study using houseplants
to determine if they could indeed purify the air inside a space shuttle. To
our delight their findings show that houseplants can play a wonderful roll
in purifying indoor air. You don't have to be residing in a space shuttle
for this news to benefit you. Anyone with environmental concerns can remove
dangerous chemicals from their own living space.
Purifying Houseplants
Surprisingly some of the best purifiers are also some
of the easiest houseplants to grow. NASA's list of best purifying house
plants includes Spider plants, English Ivy, Bamboo Palm, Fiscus,
Mother-in-law's Tongue, Peace Lily and Pothos.
How Many Houseplants?
Estimates of the number of houseplants needed for a
1200 square foot home would be 12. However, the more houseplants you invite
into your home will not only will be adding to your decor but could very
well be improving your health. You can exhale now.
