Can Indoor Plants Really Purify the Air?

Plants are very important to human life. Through photosynthesis(光合作用), they transform carbon dioxide into fresh oxygen. They 【小题1】 (assume) to remove toxins from the air we breathe -- but is this true?

One famous NASA experiment published in 1989 has found indoor plants can clean the air by removing pollutants 【小题2】 cause cancer. Later research has found soil micro - organisms in the potted plant also 【小题3】 (play) a part in cleaning indoor air.

Based on this research, some scientists say house plants are effective natural air purifiers, and the bigger and leafier the plant, the better. The amount of leaf surface area influences the rate of air purification. 【小题4】 , however, say the evidence that plants can effectively accomplish this feat(功绩)is far from conclusive.

“There are no definitive studies to show that 【小题5】 (have) indoor plants can significantly increase the air quality in your home,” According to Luz Claudio, a professor of environmental medicine and public health. “There’s no question 【小题6】 plants are capable of removing volatile(易挥发的)chemical toxins from the air under laboratory conditions,” says Claudio. But in your home or office space, the notion that putting a few plants together can purify your air doesn’t have much hard science 【小题7】 (back) it up.

Most research efforts to date, including the NASA study, placed indoor plants in small, 【小题8】 (seal) environments to assess how much air-purifying power they have. “But those studies aren’t really applicable to what happens in house. In many cases, the air in your home completely turns over -- that is, exchanges places with outdoor air -- once every hour. In most instances, air exchange with the outside has a 【小题9】 (great) effect on indoor air quality than plants.” says Stanley Kays, a professor of horticulture(园艺学).

Disappointed 【小题10】 many people may be by what Kays said, the professor also made it clear that he believes house plants are beneficial. Studies have shown plants can knock out stress and make people feel happier. More research shows spending time around nature has a positive effect on a person’s mood and energy levels.

“Children look at screens for too long every day, and don’t exercise and sleep enough, and it’s affecting their cognitive (认知的) ability”, researchers have said 【小题1】 a new report.

When I was a little boy, I 【小题5】 (convince) I wasn’t “smart”. However, Ms. Jambard totally changed me. Ms. Jambard, 【小题6】 taught me in the fifth grade, took an instant liking to me.

The scientists already knew that keeping cubs (幼兽) safe, healthy, and fed is a full-time job for a female tiger. But they weren’t exactly sure how mother tigers did it. By 【小题9】 (combine) modern technology and traditional tracking, scientists could get a unique look at how Varvara, a momma tiger, managed to get it all done. With only an estimated 600 Siberian tigers left in the wild, scientists hope that the more they learn about 【小题10】 tiger families need, the better humans we’ll be able to keep them safe.
