I watched an interesting TED talk years ago on cleaning indoor air with plants[0]. After digging into the study and understanding the numbers, it was humbling how little each plant on its own does. You basically needed to fill every square inch of floor space with plants in a normal office for it to have a noticeable impact. Bringing in outside air via the HVAC system was many times more cost efficient and effective.
