If you’d like to naturally improve the air quality in your home, but lack the space or time to care for numerous household plants – this clever concentrating capsule will help. Called the Only Botanical Air Purifier, it supercharges a plant’s natural phytoremediation capabilities for more efficient removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air.
Winner of a Popular Science Invention Award and drawing on NASA research, the Only Botanical Air Purifier encapsulates any small houseplant, drawing in ambient air toxins with its specially-designed fan. These toxins are circulated around the plant’s leaves and roots – which metabolize the impurities – resulting in clean, purified air that is then recirculated into your home.
Removing common household VOCs including toxins emitted from carpets, paint and adhesives, the Only Botanical Air Purifier has proven effective at reducing formaldehyde concentrations – cutting levels by as much as 50 percent in 30 minutes (10 times faster than traditional air filtration systems) in a study performed by Le Laboratoire in Paris.
Ideal for use in apartments or small offices, but helpful in rooms of any size – the Only Botanical Air Purifier will accept any plant, but works best with the Peace Lily, Spider Plant, Madagascar Dragon Tree and Aloe.
Including a removable tray in the base for easy watering and a dial that enables you to adjust the fan’s speed, the Only Botanical Air Purifier has no filters to replace, measures 16.25″ high x 12.25″ in diameter, weighs 6 lbs and is available now from Hammacher Schlemmer for $199.95.
