Seems like an interesting idea. But I am confused after reading the PNAT study listed on your site. I thought the trick to Clairy is that the fan forces air into the root system. Yet, in the PNAT study they sprayed the pollutant at the top instead of the fan intake. Ie, the flow direction was reversed. Why? Also, how does this compare with a HEPA filter in terms of efficiency?

@johahnleung it is weird, as far as i know it's a one way system - the leaves take in light and some chemicals - it gets turned into energy and the chemicals get broken down and stored in the soil.

@johahnleung the GIF above explains the path of the air. Polluted air from the above is forced in the roots and then it comes out from the front grid. We are conducting several other tests and also related to comparing them with other filtering systems, we will keep you updated! Cool thing about Clairy is that you don't have to change filters nor spend money for them, all natural.

@gooderdle no, only the roots. Please find a better explanation in my previous comment!

@paolo_ganis thanks I didn't see the Gif before. Does it need a particular type of soil to ensure good airflow and without blocking the fan? Great would love to see some filtering comparisons.
