That\u2019s why NASA conducted a clean air study, pitching different species of plants in a Hunger Games style fight to the death&#8230; Ok, not quite that dramatic, but the results were as inspiring as Jennifer Lawrence herself.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists found that certain plants feast on these harmful toxins (above) in the air as-well-as converting carbon dioxide into oxygen. One of these plants (below) per 10 square metres of space is enough to cause long-lasting positive effects. A further study discovered that micro-organisms in the soil remove benzene from the air.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><em>Related article:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sydneyhomeshow.com.au\/home-ideas\/low-maintenance-plants-for-your-new-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Low maintenance plants for your new home<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>If you want to introduce your own plants, the secret is to buy species with big leaves and a long life. \u201cThe amount of leaf surface area influences the rate of air purification,\u201d said Bill Wolverton, a former NASA research scientist who conducted that 1989 plant study. This is because when plants die, all the carbon in the plant is broken down by insects, fungi and microbes and re-released as CO\u2082.<\/p>\n<p>Other than chemical benefits, plants are well documented to have psychological benefits such as calming the nervous system and reducing stress.
