Phytoremediation is the practice of detoxifying an environment through several techniques, using living plants.
Some types of phytoremediation include:
• Extraction (plants pulling contaminants from soil and water via their root systems)
• Stabilisation (reducing the mobility of contaminants in the soil)
• Degradation (removing organic pollutants and breaking them down through plant metabolism)
• Stimulation (helping microbial activity in the soil to improve degredation of organic pollutants)
In other words, growing more plants can make a place less toxic. And honestly, that's a mood.
Plants can also help filter the air in your home. In 1989, the NASA Clear Air Study examined several plants for their ability to remove airborne contaminants.
Among the most effective are ivy (Hedera helix), peace lily (Spathiphyllum sp.), snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata) and Chrysanthemum morifolium.
Possibly one of the best is bamboo palm (Chamaedorea seifrizii), which is also non-toxic to pets.

@InvaderXan Is bamboo palm the best house plant if we have a dog who likes to chew on things?
@awmwrites
Like I said, it's non-toxic to pets.
@InvaderXan Cool. Thanks!
@InvaderXan Thanks for the reminder, I do want some bamboo for my new place.
