Abstract
Urban air pollution poses a significant threat to public health, necessitating innovative solutions for real-time air purification. This study proposes a next-generation Microbial Biofilter System Integrated with IoT Sensors to enhance air quality management in smart cities. Unlike traditional biofilters, this system leverages engineered microbial consortia capable of degrading multiple air pollutants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SOâ‚‚), and particulate matter (PM2.5, PM10).The Internet of Things (IoT) framework embedded within the biofilter monitors pollutant levels, microbial metabolic activity, and environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, and airflow). Advanced AI-driven analytics optimize microbial growth conditions in real time, ensuring maximum pollutant degradation efficiency. Additionally, a self-regenerating microbial matrix extends biofilter lifespan, reducing maintenance costs.This research develops prototype microbial biofilters for deployment in high-traffic urban areas, integrating them into existing smart infrastructure such as public transport stations, highways, and industrial zones. The study assesses the impact of biofilter performance on air quality indices, respiratory health, and energy consumption.By fusing biotechnology with digital intelligence, this research aims to revolutionize urban air purification, making cities self-sustaining, breathable, and environmentally resilient. This pioneering approach has the potential to reshape pollution control, offering a sustainable solution adaptable worldwide.Advancements in microbial biofiltration technology and its applications in environmental air quality management are explored, highlighting its potential as an eco-friendly solution for controlling air pollution.
