Also make sure, if you have indoor pets, to cross check the list with one that tells you which plants can injure or kill your pet.

That list was useful, but there are hundreds of common houseplants.

Not that finding exactly what percentage of contaminants they remove is absolutely necessary. I would still blanket the house with them if they had no air-cleaning properties.

So, a longer list would be nice, but not necessary.

Thanks especially for the list of specific house plants and the toxins they mitigate.

A very well put together article and very true about having indoor houseplants to “clean-up” the air. Thanks
