TCE Removal Performance

This chart showcases the top 10 houseplants based on their ability to remove trichloroethylene (TCE) from the air, with values displayed in micrograms (μg).

TCE is a toxic solvent found in:

• Industrial degreasers

• Paint removers

• Carpet cleaners

• Adhesives and varnishes

These substances often accumulate in enclosed environments, and prolonged exposure to TCE can have adverse effects on the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system.

• Gerbera daisy, Marginata, and Peace lily emerge as top performers for TCE filtration.

• These plants may be beneficial in workspaces or home studios where exposure to industrial solvents is more likely.

This visualization is part of a chemical-specific breakdown that helps identify which plants specialize in filtering certain VOCs, offering a more targeted approach to air purification.
