Skip the plug-in filter - let your plants do the work for you. Many
houseplants can remove common indoor pollutants by pulling chemicals from
the air and breaking them down in the plant leaves, roots and soil.
.
The idea was first examined in a NASA study in the 1980s, which showed
that in addition to producing oxygen, there are certain plants that are
able to break down toxic chemicals such as benzene, formaldehyde and
ammonia - all components of common household products.
