“UBREATHE LIFE”
What : World’s first Plant-based smart air-purifiers
By : Scientists of Indian Institutes of Technology, Ropar & Kanpur, and Faculty of Management Studies of Delhi University
Features of Ubreathe Life
- Amplifies the air purification process in indoor spaces like schools, hospitals, offices, and homes.
- Claimed as world’s first, state-of-the-art ‘Smart Bio-Filter’, which can make breathing fresh.
- Incubated at IIT Ropar.
- Works by air-purifying natural leafy plant
- Air of the room interacts with leaves and goes towards soil-root zone where maximum pollutants are purified
- Technology used in this product is called as ‘Urban Munnar Effect’ and patent-pending “Breathing Roots”.
- These technologies amplify the phytoremediation process of the plants.
- Increases the oxygen levels in indoor space with the help of specific plants, UV disinfection and a stack of pre-filter, charcoal filter and HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter.
- Comprises of a centrifugal fan which creates a suction pressure inside the purifier and releases purified air.
