For years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth’s natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside.
Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kinds of indoor pollution. People began to notice the problem in the early 1970s. When builders began making houses and offices, they did not want to waste energy. To do this they used man-made building materials which are now known to let out harmful gases(毒气).
As the problem became more serious, scientists began to search for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system(控制体系)for building—green plants.
Scientists believe that a plant’s leaves absorb the pollutants. And it lets out oxygen(氧气) through its leaves. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals(化学物). So the best way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants.
