'How to grow fresh air' is a book which explains that many plants are not only pleasant for eyes, they can also remove chemicals from your house's air. The book was written by Dr B.C. Wolverton - scientist who worked for NASA researching a breathable environment for a lunar habitat. He discovered that houseplants are the best filters of common pollutants.
Chemicals get to our air from many things like electro-photographic printers, cosmetics, floor coverings, paints, photocopiers and wall coverings to name just a few. Even paper towel carries with itself Formaldehyde (whatever it is). They all can cause allergies, asthma, eye, nose and throat irritations, fatigue, headaches, nervous-system disorders or sinus congestion. Scary, but the solution can be very simple: houseplants.
I found out that most of the plants I have got already in my house can do the job, so Happy Breathing Everyone...
