An excellent resource for identifying which houseplants help purify the air in your home or office. 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. Once again, Mother Nature demonstrates her ability to keep everything in harmony.

These houseplants keep things green in more ways than one! 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. He also rates each plant for its effectiveness in removing various pollutants, and its ease of growth and maintenance.
