NASA and Indoor Plants
February 14 2008 by admin.

Many of you have noticed and commented on the new plants in the studio. While Jim and I both like how they look, there is another reason we decided to get those specific plants. Since our studio has carpet, and new paint, and plastic on the leaky windows, we were concerned about air quality. We found these reports online:
NASA and the Associated Landscape Contractors of America worked together to study indoor plants and their ability to absorb indoor pollutants. This site lists the top 11 most effective plants at removing the common pollutants benzene, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide. Here, you can read up on 7 common houseplants that help clean the air. This is an article on how houseplants do their cleaning. More research can be done from NASA’s Technical Reports Server, searching for Wolverton, the main scientist in charge of these studies.
