NASA decided to take matters into its own hands with its Clean Air Study, and found that certain house plants were particularly effective at eliminating pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene. By building on this NASA study, the creators of Clairy selected the plant breeds that have been proven to eliminate toxins, but a plant on its own isn’t enough to significantly impact the amount of pollutants in the air. To solve the problem, Clairy creators decided to design handmade pots with a built-in fan, so that air gets pushed through the soil and filters out into the pollutant-ridden air of your home. Additionally, Clairy is equipped with smart sensors so you can track how effectively the plant is eliminating the toxins in your home in real-time. While the polluted air outside is a whole another issue to tackle, it doesn’t have to be as hard to make sure the air inside your home is safe to breathe. http://www.core77.com/projects/49916/Clairy-The-Natural-Indoor-AirPurifier Video - Angel - 10 -
