(Science Daily) Potted plants add a certain aesthetic value to homes and offices, bringing a touch of nature to indoor spaces…
But take heed when considering adding some green to your environment; in addition to giving off healthy oxygen and sucking out harmful VOCs [volatile organic compounds], a new study shows that some indoor plants actually release volatile organic compounds into the environment…
The study concluded that "while ornamental plants are known to remove certain VOCs, they also emit a variety of VOCs, some of which are known to be biologically active. The longevity of these compounds has not been adequately studied, and the impact of these compounds on humans is unknown."
