The results suggested that in addition to absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen through photosynthesis, certain common indoor plants may also provide a natural way of removing toxic agents such as benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene from the air — all of which are present in commonly-used items like nail polish removers,air fresheners, detergents and markers etc.
