Sinopsis

Air Cleaning Plants explores how common houseplants can naturally purify indoor environments through phytoremediation. Given that people spend about 90% of their time indoors where volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from furniture, paint, and cleaning products pollute the air, this book offers a sustainable, plant-based solution to improve indoor air quality. 

 
The book details the science behind how plants absorb carbon dioxide and remove harmful pollutants, making a case for strategically incorporating them into homes and offices. The book progresses from the beginning of identifying common indoor air pollutants and their sources to profiling plants proven to remove them. Each plant profile includes botanical characteristics, care requirements, and specific air-cleaning capabilities. 

 
Based on scientific studies and reports, the book also explores factors like light levels and humidity that influence a plant's effectiveness. This guide emphasizes evidence-based recommendations, differentiating itself from general advice and offering a rigorous approach to natural air purification.

He also brings back Mutt, the famous hero-dog of his classic The Dog Who Wouldn't Be, and his pet owl Wol, hero of Owls in the Family. The tale of an outrageous and clever boy, Born Naked takes its place as the foundation of the Farley Mowat canon.
