This easy-to-grow, sun-loving succulent helps clear formaldehyde and
benzene, which can be a byproduct of chemical-based cleaners, paints and
more. Aloe
is a smart choice for a sunny kitchen window. Beyond its air-clearing
abilities, the gel inside an aloe plant can help heal cuts and burns.
Even if you tend to neglect houseplants, you’ll have a hard time killing this resilient plant. With lots of rich foliage and tiny white flowers, the spider plant battles benzene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and xylene, a solvent used in the leather, rubber and printing industries. As an added bonus, this plant is also considered a safe houseplant if you have pets in the house.

Also known as mother-in-law’s tongue, this plant is one of the best for
filtering out formaldehyde, which is common in cleaning products, toilet
paper, tissues and personal care products. Put one in your bathroom —
it’ll thrive with low light and steamy humid conditions while helping
filter out air pollutants.
Interestingly, they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen at night (the opposite of the process most plants follow). Sharing your room with these plants could give you a slight oxygen boost while you sleep.
This easy-to-care-for plant can help filter out a variety of air
pollutants and begins to remove more toxins as time and exposure
continues. Even with low light, it will produce blooms and red berries.
These plants prefer to clean the air from a cool location with high humidity and indirect light. They're relatively easy to grow, but they do need to stay moist. Check the Boston Fern’s soil daily to see if it needs water, and give it a good soak once per month.
