The video was a retarded interpretation of the NASA study.
I posted multiple articles referencing studies that prove the nasa study to be innaccurate, some that include direct statements by the scientist who did the study, not just some false reading of the abstract.
Again, plants are awesome, my home is full of them, I grow vegetables professionally, but the NASA studies are misinterpreted and has done the influencer rounds for years.
You posted multiple msm articles referencing the same study. You didn’t post the actual research. Scientist quotes are not evidence.
And the nasa study wasn’t the only research cited but okay man have fun with those abstracts.
That influencer video isn't evidence, it is just rehashing years of plant influencer nonsense.
It isn't my obligation to pay for a journal for you to believe it.
Here is a link to another study review you can read, the conclusion of which is:
A universal answer to the question: “Can
ornamental potted plants remove VOCs from indoor air?” can-not be given yet. While the plant’s ability to take up VOCs is well documented in laboratory studies, the effect of plants on
indoor air in complex environments like offices requires further investigations to clarify the full capacity of plants in real-life settings. It is evident from this review that future research is needed to fully understand indoor VOC removal by plants.
Here is another article with a refutation by a nasa rep and a history of how the nasa study became a urban legend
More articles for you to not believe referencing meta analysis
Only one of these is an actual study and it says more research is needed to be done in homes and offices. In other words, it’s saying that the lab setting results haven’t been proven to translate to the home and office. That’s a weak but valid argument. The study says that the plants do absorb VOCs. The other articles are not studies and say similar things: more research is needed. Nice science bro
Therefore what the video claims is not accurate.
There are also studies that call for more research on seed oils. There are studies that call for more research on sunlight exposure. What’s your point?
The studies found that plants do filter out bad chemicals in the air. The studies found that despite the plants being exposed to artificial light and trapped in lab settings without natural airflow, they still filter those chemicals. Given those conditions, yeah maybe you’d need a lot more plants than is feasible. But in normal home settings where the plants are under natural sunlight and get airflow because normal people open their windows, the plant should function better. So plants in the home are beneficial despite these scientists minimizing the effects because they’re too retarded to connect the dots.
Stating conclusively plants do something is less accurate than stating the impacts are inconclusive.
Once you open the window or door you reduce the impact of the plant as you vented. It is the exteme concentration and no air flow that can show some impact.
Natural sunlight is so different all the time and location specific. A full spectrum light on 24 hours a day with a set temp will have more heat units than the same plant set in direct to indirect light for the limited day length. The individual care of the plant itself and the soil health would result in dramatic differences.
Plants are fantastic but even a lot of plants are not going to be as impactful as this video makes them out to be.
I don’t even understand what you’re arguing at this point.
“Plants are not as impactful as this video makes them out to be.”
But they still are impactful. You admitted to using them and that they do provide benefits. And the single study you shared, which you didn’t read, confirms that they filter out the air. So are you just assuming that Saladino thinks this plant will clean all the air in your home? Because he never says that. But I can’t imagine that having 8 plants in your home which filter the air isn’t significantly better than having 0 plants in the home.
The video is obviously over selling the impact leaving a false impression which is the point of hyped influencer videos.
Just the comment he makes that there is more light "in the kitchen" is silly. Like plenty of kitchens have little or no light. Or no reference to what size snake plant.
From the start I said plants are great, not that great.
I don’t think he’s overselling it. He’s not saying it’ll cure asthma or anything crazy lmao. Show me on the doll where the influencer hurt you😂
When he touches the air filter twice and says plants are just like this implying they do filter your whole house lol ✌️

Just like this as in they both filter the air lmao
Also this first study doesn’t indicate use of actual sunlight. So this is trash anyway.
