Air Purification
The process of removing harmful substances from the air.
What is it?
Air purification can happen naturally or with machines. Some plants, like the snake plant, can absorb chemicals like formaldehyde and benzene through their leaves and roots. This helps clean the air indoors. NASA studied this and found that many houseplants are good at removing pollutants. Snake plants are particularly effective because they continue to release oxygen at night.
Why it matters
Clean air is important for health. Using plants to purify air is a natural and beautiful way to improve the air you breathe.
