How to Grow Fresh Air

Author:

Wolverton, B. C.

Description: In research designed to create a breathable environment for a NASA lunar habitat noted scientist Dr. B. C. Wolverton discovered that houseplants are the best filters of common pollutants such as ammonia, formaldehyde, and benzene. Hundreds of these poisonous chemicals can be released by furniture, carpets, and building material, and then trapped by closed ventilation systems, leading to the host of respiratory and allergic reactions now called Sick Building Syndrome. In this full-color, easy-to-follow guide, Dr. Wolverton shows you how to grow and nurture 50 plants as accessible and trouble-free as the tulip and the Boston fern, and includes many beautiful but commonly found varieties not generally thought of as indoor plants. He also rates each plant for its effectiveness in removing various pollutants, and its ease of growth and maintenance.

love this book, May 26, 2008

This book has great information about at home air quality. If you like house plants and want to learn about improving the air in your home, this is a great book. It has scientific information from NASA research & has a list of plants that they suggest. What's great about this book is it has wonderful photographs of each plant and easy to understand care info. It takes all the guess work out for you, not to mention, most of the plants should be somewhat easy to find.
