The ability of houseplants to improve the composition of the air in the room, which almost all of them believe. Researchers have stated that no such plant can be compared to ventilation from the open window. The experts of Drexel University (USA).

have made this conclusion by American scientists, analyzing several dozen studies of the last 30 years. Having carefully studied the experiments that were conducted with houseplants, experts stated that many experiments were conducted in the conditions far from reality. In particular, they described the experiments that were performed in the 1980s by NASA experts. Then they concluded that houseplants are suitable for air purification. At the same time, the plants were tested in the environment purely laboratory, which is never in the homes of ordinary people.

having examined a whole series of such experiments, scientists have found that the best option for the purification of air from volatile polluting substances is the natural ventilation. a thousand pots with flowers per square meter of a house or office, ”the authors of the work reported.
