Apellix™, a leader in aerial robotic systems for the built environment, announces its participation in Earth Day 2023 with a groundbreaking project to reduce air pollution and smog using drones and a NASA dual-use compound.

The Apellix Breathe project envisions using tethered drones to spray a coating developed by PURETi to transform harmful nitrous oxide gases (NOx), the main component of smog, into simple harmless substances to clean the air, just as plants do.
