Eco-Friendly Innovation: Hydra-Enhanced Miniature Photobioreactor for Air Pollution Reduction

Abstract

According to the WHO data in 2019, nearly all of the global population resides in areas that do not meet the WHO guidelines for air quality. This study is to address the issue of indoor air pollution through the use of Photobioreactor technology and Hydrilla Verticillata plants. The experimental findings demonstrate that the rate of photosynthesis and production of oxygen bubbles by the Hydrilla plants are significantly influenced by adequate light intensity and exposure to CO2. By employing this innovative Photobioreactor technology, it is anticipated that indoor air quality can be enhanced, thereby contributing to the resolution of air pollution problems. This research adopts a combination of descriptive and experimental methods, utilizing a prototype scale for conducting experiments. Secondary data, in the form of published scientific articles from both international and national journals, serve as the source of data. The collected data is then qualitatively analyzed through descriptive means. Based on the results of data analysis, it can be concluded that this research offers valuable insights into the use of Hydrilla plants in innovative technologies for the improvement of air quality and human health, particularly by implementing photosynthesis processes within Photobioreactor technology.
