Fighting formaldehyde in a new office: which plant absorbs formaldehyde best?

I believe friends who have just finished renovating an office or just moved into a new home are quite worried about formaldehyde problems, so today the editor will talk about green plants that can purify indoor air.
How do we purify indoor air? The first condition is undoubtedly formaldehyde removal and harmful gas removal, and the principle by which plants can purify indoor air is that they purify the air in two ways:  one is that the leaves themselves absorb a lot of harmful substances, and then the harmful substances are broken down through metabolic action. The other way is that water vapor is released from the leaves, which can push harmful gases to around the plant's roots to be broken down. In addition, to achieve the effect of plants purifying indoor air, you need to place at least two plants with a height of 30-60 cm in a 10 sq m space, so that more than 75% of harmful substances can be removed.

So how do you choose the right plant for yourself? In fact, the needs of different plants come from the issue of sunlight exposure, because strong light and weak light both directly affect plant growth and the ability to absorb harmful substances. If a flower friend wants to grow plants on a windowsill, then snake plant (Sansevieria) is recommended; it can absorb nitrogen oxides and also has a very good ability to absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Next is ivy (Hedera helix), which is called an efficient filter for volatile organic compounds and can effectively remove benzene and mold. Finally there is arrowhead plant (Syngonium podophyllum), which can absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide from the air and can also remove mold from the air.

If a flower friend grows plants about two or three meters from a window, then Brazilian ironwood (Dracaena fragrans) and rubber plant (Ficus elastica) are recommended; their purifying function is outstanding and they effectively absorb formaldehyde. There is also bamboo palm (Rhapis excelsa), which can likewise remove most air pollutants. And the peace lily (Spathiphyllum), called "smooth sailing," can remove benzene alcohols, acetone, and formaldehyde, and it can also remove mold from the air. Finally there is golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum), whose air-purifying ability is equally outstanding and can remove most air pollutants.

If a flower friend grows plants in a shaded indoor spot where light is relatively weak, the classic pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is recommended; it has the ability to remove all kinds of air pollutants, including carbon monoxide, mold, and formaldehyde, and it is also really easy to grow and tough. Finally there is areca palm (Dypsis lutescens); its purifying function is outstanding, and it can also absorb mold, and its absorption effect is higher during the day.
