How does a plant-based air purifier work?

The technology works through the air-purifying natural leafy plant.
After installing the device in a room, the air in the room comes in contact with the leaves of the plant and goes to the soil-root zone where maximum pollutants are purified.
There is a centrifugal fan that creates a suction pressure inside the purifier, and releases purified air, formed at the roots, through the outlet in a 360degree direction.
IIT, Ropar, Professor Rajeev Ahuja claimed that the AQI (Air Quality Index) for a room size of 150sq.ft. drops from 311 to 39 in 15 minutes after using ‘Ubreathe Life’ air purifier.
Air quality has become one of the most crucial aspects of healthy living, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.
