This is a page from an, up and coming, new Australian horticulture mgazine

They need to sort their web site, a bit, still
What I found intersting in this article
1. It recounts Sydney UTS reseach that supports the USA reseach
2.The comment "Australian urban air pollution health costs are about $12 Bil, per year"
and "pollution kills 1,400 people in Sydney a year'. This, in a city with the cleanest air in the region! (So much for the wimpy swine flu that has killed only 100)
3 .WHO predictions that by 2010 building managers will become responsible (legally?) for indoor air quality.
4. The comment "potting mix bacteria are the main removal agents" -removal of VOCs
So what implications does that have? Do we need the plants at all? How about some
Terra preta potting mix? Would't that increase potting mix bacteria?
