Peace Lily
Many years ago I learned about a study performed by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) pertaining to the plants ability to reduce toxins in our built environments. I was so fascinated by this study, I’ve used this information in my presentations for over 20 years. I even did a special program for San Mateo County at their EXPO Center for 5 years with great reviews.
Here is the list of plants:
