15 houseplants for improving indoor air quality | MNN - Mother Nature Network
excerpt from above:
Quote:
In the late '80s, NASA and the Associated Landscape Contractors of America studied houseplants as a way to purify the air in space facilities. They found several plants that filter out common volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Lucky for us the plants can also help clean indoor air on Earth, which is typically far more polluted than outdoor air. Other studies have since been published in the Journal of American Society of Horticultural Science further proving the science.

House plants are chicken soup for a homebound soul.
