Unlocking the Potential of Microbes to Purify Indoor Air
In a recent study, researchers have discovered a way to bring fresh air into our homes without opening the windows. By harnessing the power of microbial communities, they have developed a system that uses microbes to filter the air and remove contaminants. The system, called “BreatheFresh”, works by using a series of air-handling units to draw in air from outside, filter it through microbial beds, and then release the air into the home. The system can be used to reduce levels of volatile organic compounds, allergens, and dust particles, as well as other pollutants. The microbes used in the system are selected to be beneficial to human health, and the air is monitored for quality and safety. This innovative system has the potential to revolutionize the way we provide fresh, clean air indoors.
