107 Dangers In The Air
In the early 1970's, NASA identified 107 volatile and potentially
dangerous gases in its Sky Lab III space flights. Dr. B. C. Wolverton
senior research scientist at NASA who spearheaded the project recently
said, "Our research of nearly 20 years has shown that plant
leaves, roots and soil bacteria can dramatically reduce levels of
toxic vapors (such as were found in Sky Lab III)."
From Sick Buildings To Healthy
Much as a space shuttle, tightly sealed buildings "retain"
toxic gases. The result is polluted indoor air, a condition called
"sick building" syndrome. Nearly 2 decades of NASA tests
reveal that living green and flowering plants clean pollutants
from the air, can makes sick buildings healthy.
Some Plants Clean Better Than Others
NASA tests prove that many frequently used indoor plants reduce
certain toxic chemicals in the air dramatically...by 80 and even
90%. Some of the most efficient are the Peace Lily, Gerbera Daisy,
Chinese Evergreen, Marginata, and Janet Craig.
How to clean Office Air
NASA tests have proven that indoor plants are effective air cleaners.
According to Dr. B.C. Wolverton, "One plant per 100 feet
should be effective in removing pollutants from the air, producing
clean air. Two plants should do the same cleaning job in an average
small office."
