Abstract

Air pollution is widespread and poses significant health risks, including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and even lead to death. Among the strategies to mitigate exhaust gases, biological treatment technology has gained significant attention due to its high treatment efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental friendliness. This technology has become a key area of research. This paper discusses the principles, scope, advantages, and cons of various biological treatment methods, including biofiltration, biotrickling filtration, bioscrubbing, and membrane bioreactors. Noteworthy advantages of current biological treatment for exhaust gases include cost savings, reduced energy consumption, and lower secondary pollution risks. However, limitations exist, such as the treatment of treating low concentration and high flow rate of exhaust gases, and the dependence on specific microbial species and fillers. Combining biological treatments with other technologies could significantly improve effectiveness. The review also explores challenges and future directions, aiming to enhance the application of biological treatments in exhaust gas management towards sustainable development.

期刊介绍： Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, and animals, environmental and molecular toxicology applied to pollution research, biosensors, global and climate change, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on novel methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, novel environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, novel environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modelling and biorestoration of polluted environments. Articles should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge in environmental pollution and solutions to pollution. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local pollution problem will normally be rejected without review. Submitted articles must have up-to-date references, employ the correct experimental replication and statistical analysis, where needed and contain a significant contribution to new knowledge. The publishing and editorial team sincerely appreciate your cooperation. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research papers; review articles; mini-reviews; and book reviews.
