Houseplants in your home and office may be the best housecleaners money can buy. According to a study by NASA and the Associated Landscape Contractors of America, the following houseplants help get rid of common household toxins. As the article I read, goes on to say, toxins like benzene ( found in detergents, rubber, inks and paints), formaldehyde (used in particle board and grocery bags), and trichloroethylene (used in varnishes, adhesives and paints) are prevelent in our homes. Dosen't that make you wonder what more pollution can our bodies endure.
