EcoTips: Healthy Indoor Air Quality
Certain plants can remove up to 87 percent of toxic indoor air within 24 hours.
Depending on the species, one plant can provide effective cleaning for every 100 square feet of space. For example, 15 to 20 golden pothos and spider plants can refresh the air in an average 1,800 square-foot home or office.
