Air Quality: Living Filtration as Measurable IAQ ImprovementPREVIEW
Plants absorb VOCs and PM2.5 continuously. Static filters need replacing.
30-SEC BRIEF
Plants continuously absorb volatile organic compounds and particulates. Static HEPA filters clog requiring quarterly replacement. Living filtration continuously works never clogs. Air quality built in.
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.
