ABSTRACT:
Contaminated air, e.g., air contaminated by exhaust gases from automobiles and factories, is purified by passing the contaminated air through a soil layer populated with microorganisms. The contaminated air is humidified before the contaminated air is passed through the soil layer or while the contaminated air is being passed through the soil layer. The soil layer may be warmed, or ozone may be supplied to the contaminated air to oxidize nitrogen monoxide in the contaminated air into nitrogen dioxide before the contaminated air is passed through the soil layer.
