10 Natural Air Purifiers For Indoors

In the late ’80s, NASA and the Associated Landscape Contractors of America studied houseplants as a way to purify the air in space facilities. They found several plants that filter out common volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Lucky for us these houseplants can also help clean our indoor air on Earth, which is typically far more polluted than our outdoor air is.
1. Aloe
aloe
This easy-to-grow, sun-loving succulent helps clear formaldehyde and benzene, which can be a byproduct of chemical-based cleaners, paints and more. Aloe is a smart choice for a sunny kitchen window. Beyond its air-clearing abilities, the gel inside an aloe plant can help heal cuts and burns.
Aloe is a mild to moderate toxin to your pets. Please keep it out of their reach.
2. Spider Plant
spiderplant
Even if you tend to neglect houseplants, you’ll have a hard time killing this resilient plant. With lots of rich foliage and tiny white flowers, the spider plant battles benzene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and xylene, a solvent used in the leather, rubber and printing industries.
This plant seems to attract cats, but this plant is safe for cats and dogs.
3. Snake Plant
snake plant
Also known as mother-in-law’s tongue, this plant is one of the best for filtering out formaldehyde, which is common in cleaning products, toilet paper, tissues and personal care products. Put one in your bathroom and it’ll thrive with low light and steamy humid conditions while helping filter out air pollutants.
This plant is toxic to both cats and dogs. If your pet ingested this plant, contact your local veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435.
4. Golden Pothos
pothos
Another powerful plant for tackling formaldehyde, this fast-growing vine will create a cascade of green from a hanging basket. Consider it for your garage since car exhaust is filled with formaldehyde. Golden pothos, also know as devil’s ivy, stays green even when kept in the dark.
This plant is also toxic to your pets. The symptoms are oral irritation, intense burning and irritation of mouth, tongue and lips, excessive drooling, vomiting, difficulty swallowing. Try to keep the plant out of their reach.
5. Red Edged Dracaena
dracaena_marginata
The red edges of this easy dracaena bring a pop of color, and the shrub can grow to reach your ceiling. This plant is best for removing xylene, trichloroethylene and formaldehyde, which can be introduced to indoor air through lacquers, varnishes and gasoline.
Cats that eat the long, skinny fronds that are typical in the Dracaena plant family will vomit, sometimes with blood, become depressed and lose their appetites. Kittens can get a little wobbly and appear to be drunk. Luckily, these plants are not usually lethal and symptoms should disappear in 12 to 24 hours.
6. Weeping Fig (Ficus)
Weepingfigcloseup
A ficus in your living room can help filter out pollutants that typically accompany carpeting and furniture such as formaldehyde, benzene and trichloroethylene. Caring for a ficus can be tricky, but once you get the watering and light conditions right, they will last a long time.
The creeping fig and the weeping fig are tempting for the cat and can be toxic if ingested in high quantities.
7. English Ivy
englishIvy
A study found that the plant reduces airborne fecal-matter particles. It has also been shown to filter out formaldehyde found in some household cleaning products.
This plant can be mildly toxic to pets. The symptoms are vomiting, abdominal pain, hypersalivation, diarrhea. Foliage is more toxic than berries
8. Warneckii Dracaena
warneck
Combat pollutants associated with varnishes and oils with this dracaena. The Warneckii Dracaena grows inside easily, even without direct sunlight. With striped leaves forming clusters atop a thin stem, this houseplant can be striking, especially if it reaches its potential height of 12 feet.
This plant can be toxic in both dogs and cats. The symptoms are in cats: dilated pupils, abdominal pain, increased heart rate and drooling. In both cats and dogs: vomiting, depression, inappetence, drooling, incoordination, and weakness.
9. Bamboo Palm
bamboo-palm
Also known as the reed palm, this small palm thrives in shady indoor spaces and often produces flowers and small berries. It tops the list of plants best for filtering out both benzene and trichloroethylene. They’re also a good choice for placing around furniture that could be off-gassing formaldehyde.
The Bamboo Palm is safe for all pets.
10. Peace Lily
peace_lily
Shade and weekly watering are all the peace lily needs to survive and produce blooms. It topped NASA’s list for removing all three of most common VOCs — formaldehyde, benzene and trichloroethylene. It can also combat toluene and xylene.
The Peace Lily is toxic to both cats and dogs. The symptoms are oral irritation, intense burning and irritation of mouth, tongue and lips, excessive drooling, vomiting, difficulty swallowing.

Fafard Real Estate
EOH
Bellingham the Center of the New World, near Foxboro Stadium, the T, Rt495,its where the action is!
The long awaited day is almost here..
Our homes are stylishly wonderful, once upon a time they would be called supercalifragilistic....and they are...
Working man, get over the blues, these homes are within reach and if not quite within your reach, we can move you to Uxbridge, about 20 minutes West....on Rt 146 A....
Bellingham Starting in the $300,000's
Uxbridge starting in the $200,000's,some of the same houses but on association land, about 20 minutes from Rt 495, but save thousands, it will more than pay for your driving....
Okay so here we go for our Bellingham offerings....
We have two ranch style homes to choose from both have three bedrooms on first floor...and feature a basement and two car garage...One of the ranches, has a large 4th bedroom and 3rd bath over the 2 car garage, this is a plus if you have a grown child, or an inlaw or two, that needs to come with you....and it is private, ...far away from the rest of the bedrooms...both homes have direct garage access from kitchen, easy transporting groceries and both homes have a front porch for rocking chairs, and neighborhood peeking. The Villa is the 3 bedroom with the special 4th bedroom and bath over the garage and she sits on the corner of Northern Lights Blvd and Geordan....so it has a nice view around the area...Northern Lights promises to be an address for the future.
If you go there and drive by, on Geordan, you will see way back in the woods The Royale, and slightly to it's left and front is a Victoria Jean....oh my! These are not pie in the sky, they are real and they are gorgeous....master bedrooms that you will love, with plenty of room to have a sitting area....the Royale has a first floor master and bath... YOu have to come see our new plans, and then decide for yourself.

We have a licensed broker working on our staff for Bellingham sellers, who will put your house on MLS, ask for Jon, if you want a Bellingham person to have the listing on your home..Don;'t wait til after the holidays to put your home on the market, just think.. here are some thoughts to consider.
One of the best times to show your home is when it is decorated for the holidays....so why not...We don't have to come in on the holiday, and frankly everyone is busy, so the traffic might not be heavy anyway, but why not show it, if a buyer is looking during the holidays, chances are they are serious...
We can pre qualify you, and your buyer for your home, it is one stop....plan your future with us, move into a dream home, that is exclusive to us, and pay a reasonable price....choose the area and style you can afford, we will do the rest...
