In 1998, NASA conducted a study to determine what kind of plants that purify the air in closed spacestaking into account the pollutants found in the atmosphere, and found that there are various household plants that can help clean the air we breathe at home such as spatifil, the palm area, Tigre's tongue, among others.
This issue takes on a crucial relevance in Mexico City, where we have witnessed multiple environmental contingencies with consequences potentially harmful to health public In this context, the role of plants as allies in improving the environment becomes fundamental.
Recently, Bill Wolverton, director of the Wolverton Environmental Environmental Servicesthe list for the BBC updated with the five floors that best meet this mission.
We invite you to explore a variety of thorough selected plants by your unique ability to purify air and improve environmental quality In your home. These species have demonstrated their effectiveness in various scientific studies and have been recommended by health and environment experts.
