Can plants really purify air ?
We all know plants provide the oxygen needed for life on Earth. But can they remove pollutants and toxins from the air in your home, too? It’s a question NASA has looked into *1. And they’ve found some promising results. But, of course, your home is not a space station. (We assume.) It has doors and windows and ventilation. The air in your home is completely exchanged for new outside air about once an hour. So the results achieved in a NASA laboratory can’t exactly be reproduced in your living room.

The fact is the homes we live in are breeding grounds for all sorts of unhealthy air pollutants. From furnishings and upholstery to paint and cleaning products, toxic compounds, like formaldehyde, are constantly being added to our indoor air. Add that to pollen, bacteria, mold spores and other polluting particles from the outside world, and you can understand why houseplants aren’t enough.
If you have concerns about the quality of the air in your home — because of allergens or pollutants — an air purifier is the most reliable way to protect yourself. Philips air purifiers work with true HEPA filters and Vitashield IPS active filtration technology to remove pollen, allergens and ultrafine particles as small as 0.02 microns. That’s over 99.9% of particles in the air — and that can truly help you breathe easier.
