The air quality in city apartments leaves much to be desired.

The reason is not only that cars are droning outside the windows, but that inside the houses there are plenty of sources of air pollution.

This applies to both artificial materials that emit harmful substances and ordinary dust.

Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told which indoor plants will help to clean the air in the house.

Snake tail

This plant is an indoor plant, does not require special care and at night turns into a factory for converting carbon dioxide into oxygen.

Lily

They say that the plant absorbs allergens contained in the air in the apartment, as well as harmful substances such as formaldehyde, benzene, and others.

Of all the requirements this flower has, one is regular watering.

Palm

Bamboo, or areca palm, is also effective in combating dust and decorating the interior.

But against the background of plants that purify the air, the palm tree also humidifies it.
