In doing some research to find you a list, I discovered conflicting articles on whether, in fact, houseplants clean indoor air under normal circumstances. I'm going to link you to both sides of the debate and let you decide what to do:

Thank you!
I also found contradictory research re: Do houseplants clean indoor air?
So, I’ll enjoy my plants & buy an air purifier.
Cordially, Mary Ellen
