I've never heard of this; could you elaborate? What health-relevant emissions do CRTs give out, and how would having a cactus in the vicinity of the CRT help?

- EForEndeavour 8y agoGot any actual sources? That link pushes a fearmongering agenda, and repeatedly mentions a "NASA study" without ever referencing it. It sounds like they're referencing the infamous NASA Clean Air Study, except that didn't examine radioprotective properties of plants. And that doesn't make sense anyway, because the radioprotective benefit is only conferred if you consume the plant. EDIT: read through more of the link, and it's total bullshit. A representatively BS quote, brackets mine: > Because of the spider plants amazing abilities at cleaning out pollution [completely false extrapolation of the Clean Air Study], it is also believed to be effective at absorbing forms of radiation in the home [WTF?]
