[Histonet] plants in histology lab

[Scholz, Stephen J.]

Tina;

Plants in the lab are great.  Are you concerned about the plant
contaminating the lab? If so, I have never heard of it. (I wouldn't put
it directly over my waterbath)  As far as what plants to use I believe
that NASA did a study on the affect of plants to indoor air quality and
found that the philodendron, spider plant and the golden pothos plants
were the best at reducing formaldehyde.  I'm sure there are a few others
that would also be helpful.

Happy gardening;

steve

Subject: [Histonet] plants in histology lab

We are trying to decide if we should have plants in our  histology lab
or not.
It would be nice, for the formalin fumes and such, but we are wondering
about contamination.
Does anyone have any suggestions and would certain plants be better to
have than others, or none at all?
Thank you,
Tina
