Buildings are sealed tightly to increase HHVAC efficiency. Inside those sealed environments man made paints, plastics, insulation, plywood, carpets, synthetic fabrics and detergents emit up to 300 \ harmful pollutants. NASA studies proved that the plants commonly used in interior landscaping cleanse the air of many harmful pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene and trichloroethylene. The Plants for Clear Air Council demonstrated that plants remove pollutants. Golden pothos, philodendron, dracaenas and bamboo palms are effective in cleansing the air of formaldehyde. Spathiphyllum (peace lily) and dracaenas remove benzene as well as thrichloroethylene. The Plants for Clean Air Council recommends one potted plant for each 100 square feet of floor space. Plants ability to stabilize humidity mean healthier, more productive work environments.
