# Bacteria-Driven Pollution Removal Bio-Reaction Industries Cleans the Air with Microbes By Katie Cordrey | Published 2010-08-17 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bio-reaction-industries References: [fastcompany](http://www.fastcompany.com/blog/ariel-schwartz/sustainability/bio-reaction-industries-cleans-air-bacteria) & [bioreaction](http://bioreaction.com) Bio-Reaction Industries develops and installs environmentally friendly microbe-based [air pollution control systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mito-air-purifier). The Tualatin, Oregon-based company's bio-technology bio-oxidizers are an alternative to thermal oxidizers for cleaning industrial air pollution. Volatile organic compounds and hazardous air pollutants are removed from the air using Bio-AIRSPERES that employ soil-based microbes to digest chemicals and eliminate air pollution. Bio-Reaction Industries systems costs are fractional compared to other pollution removal methods. They also emit far fewer [greenhouse gas byproducts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threelayer-electrode). **Implications** - Bio-Reaction is the cleanest means of banishing air pollution, moving quickly and eating up alcohol with 90% effectiveness in 6 to 12 seconds. Attracting the interest of industries who cause and are surrounded by pollution like [paint shops and factories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taiwan-sakura), Bio Reaction is making waves as the newest environmental savior. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Microbe-based Pollution Control:** Bio-Reaction Industries is pioneering the use of soil-based microbes to eliminate air pollution and provide a cleaner alternative to thermal oxidizers. - **Cost-effective Pollution Removal:** Bio-Reaction Industries offers pollution removal systems at a fraction of the cost compared to other methods, making it an attractive option for businesses. - **Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions:** By utilizing bio-technology bio-oxidizers, Bio-Reaction Industries significantly reduces greenhouse gas byproducts during the air pollution control process. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Paint Shops:** Bio-Reaction Industries' microbe-based pollution control systems can benefit paint shops by providing a cleaner and more environmentally friendly method of air pollution control. - **Factories:** Industries dealing with industrial air pollution, such as factories, can take advantage of Bio-Reaction Industries' cost-effective air pollution removal systems to enhance sustainability. - **Environmental Services:** The emergence of microbe-based air pollution control systems presents opportunities for the environmental services industry to offer innovative solutions to clients looking for sustainable pollution control methods. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Algae-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/algenair-aerium.md) - [Naturalistic AI-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/briiv-pro.md) - [Sleek Pollution-Reducing Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecos-1.md) - [Dual-Action Odor Eliminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-logic.md) - [Plant-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neo-px-air-purifier.md) - [Affordable Industrial-Grade Air Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/industrialgrade-air-monitors.md) - [Air-Purifying Houseplants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neoplants.md) - [Moss-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moss-air.md) - [AI-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/briiv-pro-2.md)
