Algae Based Air Purifier

The pollutant levels in the atmosphere have been drastically increasing over the past few decades. The air pollution causes health & environmental impacts, and climate change. This paper focuses on the use of biological method as a solution to combat this issue for which microalgae has been used due to its air purification property. Arthrospira maxima has been identified as the optimal species for this experiment. Winkler’s method for the estimation of dissolved oxygen and American Public Health Association method for the estimation of dissolved carbon dioxide of the algal medium were experimented for the verification of the functionality of the air purifier.
