Air filtering indoor plants

[valedevento]

I was talking to someone the other day and she was talking about indoor plants that filter and clean the air. I know all plants do that, but she was talking about plants that really make the indoor air healthy and would remove toxins from concrete and paint in the air. Does anyone know about these? Which plants are they? Thank you.

In my home country we had several of this plants in our outdoor garden and as well inside our house and this is what we called the "Snake Plant".. This is a good kind of an air purifying indoor plant.

My best bet for air filtering plants are palms. There are small palm trees that can fit in a pot and even bear fruits as part of the indoor decoration. We call it pitugo, the small palm tree that bears round fruits like small coconuts. A professional gardener in the nursery said that palms are good for the cleaning of the air. Much more, they are sturdy and sunning once a week is enough for them.
