In 1989, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), in collaboration with the Associated Landscape Contractors of America (ALCA), conducted a Clean Air Study and published the results that provide a definitive list of the best indoor air purification plants.<\/p>\n
The study, led by Dr. BC Wolverton, found that these plants are effective in filtering benzene, ammonia, formaldehyde and other air pollutants and replacing them with breathable oxygen, which helps neutralize the effects of sick building syndrome.<\/p>\n
They further found that certain tropical plants, which are commonly used as houseplants, are actually the most efficient in this process. In fact, the report suggests having at least one of these best air-purifying plants for every one hundred square feet in the home or office space. <\/p>\n
