According to Ible, its manufacturer, this device removes up to 99.9% of allergens, pollutants and bacteria that we breathe. It is brought to neck like a hi-tech accessory (it weighs only 70 grams) and has a lithium-ion battery that holds it running for 32 hours.
The concept of "putting on airs" therefore seems to take on a completely new connotation.
