Measurements prove rapid effectiveness
In a lab measurement with AIRY S, the VOC level was reduced by 50% in just 47 minutes. In comparison, this took almost 2.5 hours with a conventional flowerpot. Source
AIRY M performed even better: After just 26 minutes, the VOC level dropped by 65.22%, and after about two hours the levels were significantly below the initial level. Source
Particle reduction in a few hours
Fine dust levels were also measured: With AIRY M, the zero point was usually reached within a few hours, with AIRY S fine dust fell 30% faster than with a normal flowerpot. Source
Why this works so well
- The natural chimney effect creates continuous air circulation through substrate and roots without electricity. More about this here.
- Microorganisms in the substrate and the root system actively convert pollutants into vital nutrients.
- The moisture generated by the AIRY tank promotes the agglomeration of dust particles and accelerates their deposition.
What goals are realistic?
• A measurable reduction of VOCs is possible already after 30–60 minutes – especially with larger systems.
• After 2 hours, VOCs are reduced by up to 65%, fine dust often completely removed.
• In the medium term, the indoor climate steadily improves and pollutant levels remain permanently low. Studies and test results are available here.
If fast, passive, and natural air purification is your goal, AIRY is a good choice.
