The snake plant cleans several toxic components from the air, including benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene, and toluene. Trichloroethylene is most commonly used for industrial purposes, but it is widespread in ground and drinking water. Xylene and toluene help produce solvents, plastics, adhesives, and many other household items. The snake plant does best in well-drained soil and tolerates low-light conditions.
