The first list of air-filtering plants was compiled by NASA as part of the NASA Clean Air Study, which researched ways to clean air in space stations. As well as absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, as all plants do, these plants also eliminate significant amounts of benzene, formaldehyde, and/or trichloroethylene. NASA researchers suggest efficient air cleaning is accomplished with at least one plant per 100 square feet of home or office space. Source
