Ep.161 Air purifying indoor plants: New scientific study! - Dr Fraser Torpy (University of Technology Sydney) & Johan Hodgson (sponsored by Ambius)

How much truth is there to the claims of the ability for plants to purify the air? Is it just hype, or do they make a genuine difference?

Recently, one of the world's leading indoor plant companies, Ambius, sponsored me to visit their press release for a new study that they funded at the University of Technology in Sydney (UTS) regarding the ability for plants to purify the air and suffice to say... what they've found is astounding.

Not only does this study confirm the air purifying indoor plant claims, but they've completely revolutionised the way that we should be approaching indoor air quality as a society. You won't be using artificial air purifiers after listening to this episode!

Johan Hodgson is a plantsman and General Manager at Ambius, and Dr Fraser Torpy is an Associate Professor involved with the study at UTS. Together, they were able to explain exactly what's so exciting about their findings, and how business owners and professionals in the horticulture industry can use their findings to help green indoor spaces around the country, and the globe.
