Andrea is a living air filter which absorbs undesirable effects of contaminated air by the profusion of manufactured goods. It takes in the air from the room and absorbs its’ toxic compounds. Andrea uses plants selected for their filtering ability. The Gerbera, philodendron, spathiphyllum, pathos and chlorophytum are among the plants found to be most effective. The air which passes through the Andrea is purified by the leaves and roots of the plant. This invention was awarded “Best Invention” by Popular Science, USA in 2009.
