Description

Whilst conducting research into creating a breathable environment for a NASA lunar habitat, it was discovered that houseplants were the best filters of common pollutants, such as ammonia, formaldehyde and benzene, all chemicals which are released by carpets, furniture, photocopiers and everything that are commonly used in the everyday home and office. These chemicals can then lead to a host of allergic and respiratory problems which is now known as Sick Building Syndrome.

This book guides you through 50 of the most popular plants, each one giving you a rating on the removal of chemical vapours, ease of growth and maintenance, resistance to insect infestation and transpiration rate.
Every plant is also accompanied by useful information such as how to care for your plant, pests and problems, the best temperature and position.

Studies have shown that on average we spend around 80% of our lives indoors, and therefore we should know how to purify the environment that surrounds us.
