Ta,
have just invested heavily in a whole heap of plants for the office (researching light tolerance etc) and was interested in this subject but hadn't turned anything up. Sounds like all the testing has been in controlled environments, so the broader environmental tests in office situations (harder to control) have not been done yet. The aesthetic benefits are certainyl there tho'. Plants are at home waiting to get driven it (won't fit on the bike).

I have had indoor plants for many years & have always been under the impression that they were healthy to live with.
