Airports test algae bioreactors to fight ‘sick building syndrome’

Airports are testing algae-filled bioreactors as a biological alternative to conventional air filtration, targeting the headaches, fatigue, and respiratory irritation collectively known as sick building syndrome. The approach draws on peer-reviewed research showing that microalgae can absorb indoor carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, potentially improving air quality in enclosed, high-traffic terminals where traditional ventilation often falls […]
