I keep a pothos and spider plant in my lab. EH&S has never complained, though I can't say one way or another if it's technically allowed.
While my plants are mostly just decorative (I don't think I have enough of them to make much of a difference), it doesn't hurt that they may be filtering our air somewhat. NASA compiled a list of air-filtering plants that can eliminate significant amounts of formaldehyde, xylene, benzene, etc. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_air-filtering_plants).
