Studies have shown that houseplants can help filter out VOC's (volatile organic compounds)

Taken a few years ago and grown lots since. Pruning has kept the height down but is become monstrosly wide and much fuller.

We normally have houseplants in our living area.  I didn't know it brings or it helps in reducing air pollution, all I/we know is that it make us feel relaxed and the air is so refreshing inside our house.
