I am interested in knowing what plant is most "healthy for humans"  in 
terms of generating oxygen.  Hopefully, it is not just a fuction of 
growth rate but is based on the plants metabolism rate.  Also, how 
much oxygen is given off per volume of this plant compared to how much 
oxygen the average person needs to live?
