14 PLANTS THAT CLEAN YOUR INDOOR AIR OF TOXIC CHEMICALS...ACC Do you use houseplants to clean up indoor air? Which ones?

In a 1987 study, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ranked indoor air pollution fourth in cancer risk among the 13 top environmental problems analyzed. The United Nations Development Program estimated that more than two million people die each year due to the presence of toxic indoor air.Most people spend more time indoors than outdoors these days, and acording to research from the EPA and the California Air Resources Board (ARB), indoor air pollutant levels are often higher than those outdoors, and contain potentially dangerous chemicals like formaldehyde, chloroform, and styrene, in ranges two to 50 times higher than outdoor levels.What can you do? In addition to standard safey measures like testing for radon, installing an air filter, allowing and allowing for regular ventilation, and using eco-friendly cleaners, recent research shows that several types of houseplants can help significantly reduce the levels of pollutants in your home or office.Plants That Can Clean Up Your Indoor AirPlants clean indoor air in two ways—by absorbing contaminants through pores on the leaves, and by metabolizing contaminants through organisms living in the soil. In fact, plants are so effective that some stores, like Lowe’s and Home Depot, are starting to label the most effective ones with tags.Though it seems most plants will benefit indoor air, the following are those that have been shown in scientific studies and shown to work. These plants can also help maintain humidity levels and remove mold spores and bacteria from the air.Full Article plus Photos @ http://renegadehealth.com/blog/2013/03/25/14-plants-that-clean-your-indoor-air-of-toxic-chemicals?utm_source=Renegade+Health+Newsletter&utm_campaign=6b909cee01-Holy+basil+-+2&utm_medium=email
