Summary
The NATEDE project is a breakthrough indoor air-cleaning technology targeting not just the elimination of indoor air pollution
but also the creation of healthy new air thanks to a powerful combination of real plants with technology and design (Clairy
solution). The novelty of the NATEDE project is based on the introduction of the forced-air system in the natural air
purification arena. It is done through the introduction of a specially designed pot equipped with a fan forcing the air to move
through the soil and the roots of the plant by stimulating faster and more effectively the process of elimination of pollution
and the process of photosynthesis. Moreover, the NATEDE project introduces a mobile internet functionality (in line with the
Internet of Things trend) combined with a set of advanced sensors to the equation, whereby users can operate the Clairy
solution through their smartphones and tablets, set automatic start/stop time based on predefined parameters (time, level of
air pollution, etc.) and monitor the actual indoor pollution. The proof of concept has already been achieved showing that the
Clairy solution can reduce indoor pollution to safe levels already within hours of activity. Consequently, Clairy can be
considered as one-of-a-kind solution that gives an “extra pair of lungs” to plants.
