NASA Clean Air Study

The NASA Clean Air Study was conducted to identify plants that effectively remove airborne toxins in indoor environments. Researchers tested various indoor plants to see how well they could filter common pollutants like benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene from the air. The study found that certain plants, such as the snake plant and pothos, are capable of improving indoor air quality by absorbing these pollutants through their leaves and roots. This research helps inform people on natural ways to enhance indoor air freshness and reduce potentially harmful chemicals in homes and offices.
