biofiltration

Biofiltration is a natural process that uses living organisms, like bacteria and plants, to clean air or water. In biofiltration systems, contaminants are broken down by these microorganisms, which thrive on the pollutants. For instance, in wastewater treatment, bacteria digest harmful substances, turning them into safer compounds. In air purification, biofilters can remove odors and volatile organic compounds. This method is eco-friendly, as it harnesses nature's ability to detoxify, making it an effective way to manage pollution and improve environmental health.
