Plants are Nature's Most Efficient
Environmental Air Cleaner!

Studies by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) prove that plants not only beautify indoor environments, they make them healthier to live in. NASA studied the benefits of plants for use in future space stations and closed environments. Properly designed indoor planting can provide an inexpensive, refreshingly low-tech means of removing pollutants from the air in offices and homes.

Indoor air is polluted from the various fibers (carpet, fabrics, wall coverings) and solvents (wallboard, paints, varnishes, furniture) we use to build and decorate our homes and offices. Two potted plants per 100 square feet of floor space will help to clean and refresh the air in the average home or office.

Virtually every tropical indoor plant and many flowering plants are powerful removers of indoor air pollutants. Below is a chart of plants in the NASA study that most effectively removed pollutants from the air.
