The Oxygen Parlour totally based on the recommendation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). NASA conducted a study in which they identified some plants that better absorb the five most harmful pollutants from the air. The reach of this initiative and help improve the air quality across the country. The commuters at the railway station also commended the effort as a positive step towards combating air pollution in the cities across the country.
