VOC’s are what experts otherwise refer to as volatile organic compounds. These toxic VOC’s include the following: benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene/toluene, and ammonia. In an effort to discover ways to keep the air of the International Space Station as clean as possible, NASA launched an investigation into which plants are the most powerful and efficient when it comes to air purification. After a lengthy series of tests, NASA learned these five plants are the best of all at detoxifying the ISS, as well as your home: 1) aloe, 2) spider plant, 3) english ivy, 4) peace lily, 5) snake plant, and 6) the rubber plant.
