2-MIN SUMMARY
Indoor air quality suffers from
particulates (dust, pollution,
off-gassing) and gases (formaldehyde,
benzene). HVAC filters address
particulates generating maintenance burden
and replacement cost. Botanical air
filtration is passive and continuous:
plants absorb gases through stomata and
capture particulates on leaf surfaces.
Evidence base is strong in botanical
literature. Combined with Thermopod™
Biothermal Microconditioning, air quality
improvement becomes side-effect of cooling
system. For hospitals, schools, offices
with occupant health mandates,
dual-function capability simplifies
compliance and reduces cost. Occupants
breathe healthier air. Sick day rates
improve measurably over time.
