Those living in rather crowded urban areas are probably well aware of the fact that air pollution is a pressing issue, and most have probably already purchased – or at least considered purchasing – an air purifier.

However, thanks to a new technology launched quite a while back, one need not necessarily opt for the run-of-the-mill and rather dull-looking air purifiers.

Quite the contrary: the Andrea Air Purifier uses a living plant in order to help clean up the air.

As explained on the official website for this air purifier, technological advancements have made it possible for the people behind this project to up the natural air-cleaning efficiency of the plant placed at the center of this new air-cleaning system.

Just for the record, the working principle behind this innovative air purifier is that, “Plants are nature's air filtration system for the earth,” and should therefore be allowed to do their job and help us look after our general wellbeing.

I bought one - the fan caused the soil to dry up and the plant died!
