Harnessing the natural process of air purification, Harvard designers Mathieu Lehanneur and David Edwards has come up with an innovative air purifier that makes use of indoor plants to filter air. Dubbed “Andrea,” the eco-friendly air purifier absorbs toxic gases to filter them through the leaves and roots of the plant within and puffs out fresh air. Moreover, you don’t need expensive or hybrid plants for this, because plants as universal as Spathiphyllum (peace lily), Dracaena marginata (red-edged dragon tree), Chlorophytum comosum (spider plant) and Aloe vera are ideal for air purification. The natural air purifier will be available by this autumn for $199.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/andrea-air-purifier-uses-indoor-plants-for-air-purification/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.thedesignblog.org/img/A639B063-DEEF-401C-8F72-E773FA122FE7" alt="andrea_01" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/andrea-air-purifier-uses-indoor-plants-for-air-purification/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.thedesignblog.org/img/FAB8090C-E82A-4D43-80CE-C43717E3E17E" alt="andrea_02" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/andrea-air-purifier-uses-indoor-plants-for-air-purification/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.thedesignblog.org/img/2982CDA2-7127-4281-9C91-AC46183154F7" alt="andrea_03" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/andrea-air-purifier-uses-indoor-plants-for-air-purification/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.thedesignblog.org/img/EAFCD85F-8ED0-443C-8969-5B5C1661DA89" alt="andrea_04" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/andrea-air-purifier-uses-indoor-plants-for-air-purification/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.thedesignblog.org/img/BC87695E-27E9-4D88-B28D-ABAB349C1686" alt="andrea_05" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/andrea-air-purifier-uses-indoor-plants-for-air-purification/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.thedesignblog.org/img/984B6E2D-79D8-493B-8EF3-6D776365EF06" alt="andrea_06" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/andrea-air-purifier-uses-indoor-plants-for-air-purification/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.thedesignblog.org/img/6E7F512D-E018-467F-82B7-76F50F9075DB" alt="andrea_07" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/37BEDBEB-4D2C-4FAA-AF25-B62A11FA4C48/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
