How Air-Filtering Plants Work
Any time you buy new linens, carpeting, or other home furnishings, you also bring the chemicals used in their manufacturing into your house. Even unbagging your dry cleaning can expose you to contaminants. These chemicals make up a portion of the air pollution that exists inside our homes and workplaces. Even if you can't smell them, VOCs likely still exist in the air around you.
Research has shown that air-cleaning plants are an antidote to many of the unhealthy household substances that contribute to poor indoor air quality, which can lead to illnesses like headaches, sinus congestion, and even fatigue. Greenery soaks up VOCs, breaks them down, and uses them for food.
