A recent NASA study by
has shown that many common house plants are able to reduce
or eliminate Benzene, Formaldehyde, and Trichloroethlene
from office or home spaces.

Benzene is a known
human carcinogen
-
Formaldehyde causes
flu and hay fever like symptoms: nausea, throat and/or
eye irritation, dizziness, fatigue, etc.

abnormal heat beat, coma, and possible death.

feel better and be much healthier. Here is a chart
