The open-window season is officially over. (And forget about those 8:29 p.m. summertime sunsets.) Take a deep breath, anywhere in your home. Do you know what you just inhaled inside your lovely home besides life-sustaining oxygen?

It’s not just simmering potpourri.

How about:

Formaldehyde (from furniture, plastics, insulation, carpeting, wood flooring, adhesives and building materials).

Trichloroethylene (cleaners, degreasers, adhesives).

Xylene (rubber, leather, cleaning products, printer ink).

Toluene (paints, dyes, fragrances).

These are toxins, indoor pollution, trapped in your house. Don’t panic, though. Just buy more houseplants, natural air purifiers that also recycle carbon dioxide into breathable oxygen. NASA has cultivated a reputation has a seemingly incongruous houseplant expert — though life in space for long-duration missions, says the federal space agency, could depend on it — so let’s cherrypick its research for this winter’s Top 10 indoor air decrapifiers for your bedroom or anywhere else in the house.
