Abstract:

The human population is spending more time in the indoor environment. This coupled with tightly sealed buildings, increased insulation, and reduced ventilation has resulted in indoor air pollution emerging as a global issue as evidence for it being a significant cause of morbidity and mortality increases. Currently, the main form of air filtration technology is centered on mechanical filtration and dilution. However, conventional indoor air filtration methods have a limited range of pollutant application. Alternatives in the form of biological filtration are a rapidly growing field of research with the demand and development of these biological systems supporting a growing industry aimed at maximizing their efficiency and effectiveness.
