I also covered that topic with an article on the best houseplants for removing indoor toxins. It covers several different studies including the recent NASA studies on which houseplants were the most effective at removing specific toxins.

I really enjoyed reading your article and thought that you might enjoy this other article that i wrote: 15 House Plants You Can Use As Air Purifiers.

The article takes you through some of the science behind why plants act as purifiers and then recommends 15 plants based on data from 3 different experiments.

It might even help people decide what plant to put in their andrea air purifier.

Thanks Again.
