净化室内空气选这些植物就对了！

Indoor air pollution is a common threat to human health, the new study looked at five common house plants and found that when it comes to removing harmful chemicals from the air, those five plants are better than others.

室内空气污染对人类健康是一种常见的威胁，当我们谈到净化空气中的有害化学物质，这五种植物比其它植物更有效。

净化室内空气选这些植物就对了！1

Dracaena

香龙血树

All five plants did a good job removing acetone (you’ve probably noticed its smell in nail salons—the pungent chemical is present in nail polish remover). But the popular Dracaena plant, with its trunk-like stems and shiny leaves, took in more of the gas than any other greenery tested (94% over the 12-hour study period).

五种植物都能起到去除甲醛的作用（你可能已经注意到在美甲店里的气味就是它——在卸甲水中刺鼻的化学物质）。但是这种受欢迎的龙血树植物，拥有像树干一样的茎和关泽的叶子，在环保测试中它比其它任何植物能去除更多的有害气体（在超过12个小时的观察时间中，龙血树吸收了多达94%的丙酮）。

Jade plant

翡翠木

Out of the five plants tested, this easy-to-care-for succulent—also known as a friendship tree, lucky plant, or money tree—was the best at removing toluene (91%), a strong-smelling chemical often associated with paint thinners.
