- •
Reported houseplant benzene removal rates vary over several orders of magnitude.
- •
The variations were likely caused by high concentrations of benzene in the assays.
- •
High levels of benzene increased soil bacterial populations and activities.
- •
Standard procedures for houseplant pollutant removal experiments are proposed.
