infobox image caption grammar

From Environmental section, Change:
"Exposure to indoor volatile organic compounds may be a trigger for asthma; formaldehyde exposure, for example, has a positive association.[50] Phthalates in certain types of PVC are associated with asthma in both children and adults.[51][52] While exposure to pesticides is linked to the development of asthma, a cause and effect relationship has yet to be established.[53][54] A meta-analysis concluded gas stoves are a major risk factor for asthma, finding around one in eight cases in the U.S. could be attributed to these.[55]"
by adding this at the end:
"Indoor houseplants improve air quality by reducing levels of formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide."[1][2] Surftacular (talk) 21:56, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
- This is not true. Indoor houseplants do not substantially affect indoor air quality. https://www.lung.org/blog/houseplants-dont-clean-air Jaredroach (talk) 22:44, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
