Plant-based Air Purification- uBreathe Air Purifier

It's crucial to acknowledge that indoor air quality is typically 4-5 times worse than outdoor air quality. This underscores the significance of using air purifiers to improve indoor AQI.

Imagine having an air purifier that harnesses the power of plants to cleanse the air.

uBreathe air purifier brings to you, a very unique fusion of green technology and clean technology.


"IIT Ropar’s startup company, Urban Air Laboratory, claims it’s the world’s first ‘Smart Bio-Filter’ that can make the air quality fresh. The smart filter was developed at IIT Ropar, a designated iHub – Agriculture & Water Technology Development Hub by the Indian Government’s Department of Science and Technology."

'Urban Munnar Effect' in uBreathe's Air purifier

  • The Falcon Effect: This is a unique technology used in uBreathe air purifiers. A fan is attached to the Falcon ring. This ring draws air through a tiny aperture so that a low-pressure environment is created. This is followed by a multiplying effect which efficiently cleans the air by drawing more of it.

  • Initial low-pressure area: Air is pulled in and adheres to the inside surface. This creates a low-pressure area.

  • Second amplification layer: More air is drawn in by the suction in the center of the Falcon ring to be cleansed.

  • Third amplification layer: As air leaves the ring, the phenomenon of vortex shedding occurs near the tip, bringing in additional air from the surroundings and enhancing the draft.

  • Fourth amplification layer: The Magneto device beneath the plant pot bends the airflow, further increasing airflow and accelerating the purification process.

  • The Munnar Effect: The combination of the Falcon and Magneto effects creates the Munnar Effect, presumably enhancing the overall air purification efficiency.



uBreathe's "Patented Breathing Roots Technology"


"The technology works through the air-purifying natural leafy plant. The room air interacts with leaves and goes to the soil-root zone where maximum pollutants are purified. The novel technology used in this product is the 'Urban Munnar Effect' along with patent-pending "Breathing Roots" to exponentially amplify the phytoremediation process of the plants. Phytoremediation is a process by which plants effectively remove pollutants from the air."

What is Breathing Roots Technology?

  • uBreathe’s patented Breathing Roots technology enables polluted air to pass through the soil and root region of the plant.

  • The plant’s roots interact with the air, effectively removing PM10, PM2.5, and TVOCs (Total Volatile Organic Compounds).

  • In fact, the plant does the majority of the cleaning!

  • This way, uBreathe not only purifies the air but also promotes sustainability.


"We at uBreathe believe in "Green Technology, Clean Technology" because we assert that the idea of good environmental health isn't just a "moral imperative" but rather a "social necessity". So, uBreathe brings you a sustainable way of purifying your indoor AQI which gives you the ideal timing and cause to switch to uBreathe's air purifier."
