Have you seen the NASA study on indoor plants and filtration? Highly recommend it. The degree to which it's effective on a home scale... eh... Still, it doesn't hurt to do. Again, I could be crazy, but having a few of these in a city environment does drastically change the smell of a house for the better.

I do recommend searching "nasa indoor plant list" for easier lists if you just want to quickly see which ones.

- cheeko1234 6y agoWow, thanks for that link. Literally all the conclusions were exaggerated.
