The Only Botanical Air Purifier

by Ally

BotanicalAirPurifier

If you’re concerned about the air within your home becoming healthy and free of toxins, finding an air purifier isn’t difficult.  However, this one goes for a slightly different angle on how it goes about cleaning the air you breathe.  Instead of going about things the usual way, it actually uses a plant’s natural phytoremediation capabilities to do the job.

It’s specially designed to draw in air toxins and absorb them into the plant’s leaves and roots and then be metabolized.  It gets rid of the common household VOCs, such as formaldehyde, and other toxins emitted from paint, carpet, and adhesives.  It’s capable of reducing the concentration of formaldehyde by 50% in 30 minutes, which is apparently 10 times faster than a traditional air purifier.  You can choose any plant you like to put within the purifier, but they have a list of plants that work best, such as Peace Lily and Spider Plant.  You can purchase the Botanical Air Purifier for $199.95.
