Air Purifying Plants

It is known that air quality is essential to our health and well-being, but are we careful to purify the air in our home or office? Will those 10 minutes with the window open be enough before leaving home for work?

They are able to eliminate these toxins for their own benefit, through their leaves and stems or through their roots, transforming them into food.
