The NASA Clean Air Study tested plants that reduce indoor air toxins. Here are the top 7 to keep at home.
The list
1. Snake plant — releases oxygen at night, great for bedrooms
2. Pothos — very fast growing, absorbs formaldehyde
3. Peace lily — reduces benzene and toluene
4. Spider plant — pet-safe
5. Rubber plant — big leaves trap dust
6. Boston fern — adds humidity
7. Bamboo palm — purifies large rooms
Start with a snake plant or pothos — the easiest of the list.
