How to Grow Your Own "Clean Air"
Foliage plants are not only beautiful but they also play an important role in the air we breath, both indoors and out. Plants produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis, where the plant absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen. This process not only puts more oxygen into the air, but it also helps clear the air of pollutants as well. Indoor air pollution has become an increasing problem because new homes and buildings do not allow air to circulate properly. This stagnant air lingers and picks up pollutants that are extremely harmful to humans, including cigarette smoke. In a NASA study, certain houseplants, under controlled conditions, were able to remove as much as 87% of indoor pollutants within 24 hours.
