For most of us, our homes are our sanctuaries, the place where we feel most comfortable and safest at. So it may come as a shock to you to find out that the air in your home may actually be filled with harmful toxins that put your health and wellbeing at serious risk.
Many of the products we use every day contain mild levels of toxins that are released into the air. No one wants toxins in their homes, but according to research conducting by NASA, there might actually be a simple, all-natural solution for filtering the air in your home.
The study which NASA conducted all the way back in 1989 shows exactly how plants remove toxins from air by trapping them in their leaves, soil, and roots. The study was meant to test air purification systems for the space station, but the results can successfully be used in your home as well.
The question is: which houseplants clean air the best? Well, NASA actually made a list public so that everyone can have access to it. Now, you may expect to see all kinds of exotic names on the list, but that’s hardly the case. Here is more information on the topic, as well as NASA’s top plant suggestions for filtering the air in your home.
