WHICH
PLANTS WORK BEST

cleanse the air and combat Sick Building Syndrome. NASA-funded
studies proved that plants commonly used in interior plantscaping
cleanse the air of many harmful pollutants such as Formaldehyde,
Benzene and Trichloroethylene.
All plants help in removing pollutants. Depending on the lighting
at which you will place your interior plants, there are a large
variety of color and textures to choose from to go with your décor.
The Plants for Clean Air Council recommend one potted plant for
each 100 square feet of floor space.

office add moisture to the dry overheated air often found in sealed

removers of indoor air pollutants. The following chart lists the
