IIT graduate develops ‘Ubreathe’, world’s first plant based air purifier

New Delhi: Rapid industrialization and a huge number of vehicles have polluted the air. We need an air purifier for breathing fresh air to remain healthy and spend a decent life. People commonly experience coughs, breathing difficulties, and other problems whenever pollution levels surge. Till late, there was no solution except using bigger air filters.

There is nothing to worry; IIT graduate Sanjay Maurya has created a “Smart Bio-Filter” flowerpot known as ‘Ubreathe’. This one flowerpot is capable of clearing air equal to 20 plants and helps in improving the natural process of air purification. However, Ubreathe is considered the first air purifier technology across the world.  Air-purifying plants absorb air, and the pollutants are filtered out near the roots. The plant then releases oxygen.

The important point here is that you don’t need to change the filter in it; rather, you have to water the plant on a regular basis. Ubreathe is capable of combating all kinds of pollution, such as PM10, PM2.5, volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and so on.

Ubreathe has the feature that when it grows, its ability to purify air increases. Since the beginning, Sanjay Maurya wanted to find a natural solution to artificial air purifiers. However, a single plant is not enough to effectively purify the air on a larger scale. This led Sanjay to create a combination of plant and technology, resulting in a product that can potentially replace any commercial air purifier available in the market. It will keep your rooms and surroundings free from pollution.
