C. Wolverton. Wolverton is a scientist who had been specifically asked by NASA to research plants that take VOC's and other nasty chemicals out of the air in closed environments (like a space station, for example), leaving only the fresh air behind. In the book, he shows the results of his testing, which rates 50 common houseplants individually by their ability to remove the chemicals (which chemicals it removes best and how fast/effectively it does it). He also comments on each plant's hardiness/light/water requirements/ and ease of ability to grow indoors.
