The later half of the list you can virtually anywhere that plants are sold - Walmart... Often though Walmart...will have a plant listed as a fern and not necessarily the particular type. But they are common and should be easy to locate.

Specific plants can clean specific air problems too - so if you narrow down the list to better suit your problem you should still not have any shopping problems.

Bamboo palm I see mentioned a lot for that purpose. I have no idea how readily available it is...I just know a lot of smokers lol

any other specific places other than walmart? just some names of stores will do.

Try Plant World (http://www.plantworld.net/en/index.php) at 4000 Eglinton near Scarlett. I would bet they have most if not all.

I've heard that bamboo is effective at cleaning the air. I am not talking about the lucky bamboo you find in supermarkets. That's not actually bamboo but some kind of water plant. I don't know exactly which stores sell bamboo plants but I know there is a store on the Danforth in Toronto called Do Bamboo. They sell bamboo clothing but might know where to buy bamboo?
