It could be installed in offices, allowing workers to think more clearly.

The problem is that methane is even worse as a green house gas.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So what problem are they solving and oh by the way, they are using electricity, probably generated by a coal or gas fired power station, which added much more bad gases into the atmosphere than the device itself.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now do you understand why I am confused?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It is like taking an electric car and plugging it into a coal fired power station. Do you really think that is better for the environment?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>DAB</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=10092&AppID=4&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
