8 plants that renew the atmosphere of your home

The indoor plants they are the best ionizer!

In the summer of 1989, NASA and the National Association of Landscape Experts conducted a study that uses indoor plants as a natural way to produce and purify air on space stations.

According to their findings, plants that required low light showed surprising potential for improving indoor air quality because they helped remove various pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde and plutochloroethylene (some of which are found in the home and furniture ). So it is logical to consider that we live like those astronauts in space.

Plant leaves absorb carbon dioxide – turning it into energy – along with other gases, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene and formaldehyde. "Keep an onion in your bedroom, another in the living room with some plants, and put a pot of ivy in the bathroom," says expert Melissa Ozawa.
