Biosystems for Air Protection

With rapid development of industry and technology worldwide we are observing a gradual deterioration of the air quality. A great number of industrial processes (e.g. combustion), transportation, or even agriculture generate significant quantities of pollutants such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (e.g. methane), ammonia, particulate matter, toxic metals (e.g. lead), odors and radioactive pollutants. These pollutants have a harmful effect on the ecosystems, human and animal health. In order to prevent from further deterioration of air there is a need for minimizing the emissions of harmful substances, performing pollution control and introducing solutions to reduce the concentrations of pollutants in the air.
