“…Another route is to remove the pollutants from the polluted air. Photo-catalysis, activated carbon adsorption, and pot-plants are useful methods to remove indoor air pollutants (Pettit et al 2018;Bhave and Yeleswarapu 2020;Dhanabalan et al 2020). However, little research has been carried out on the removal of ambient air pollutants.…”

Air pollution poses a great threat to human health, and it has become a worldwide problem that needs to be urgently dealt with. Many measures have been taken to reduce air pollution and improve air quality. These methods are generally costly and require special equipment. Some plants have the ability to assimilate, degrade, or modify toxic pollutants in air into less toxic ones. It is proposed here to develop plant-based technology to clean polluted air at low cost. This air phytoremediation technology has many potential advantages in contrast with traditional air pollution treatment methods. It is simple, potentially cheap, and easily implemented. Plants to be used for air phytoremediation have the potential to reduce pollutants in air and improve air quality; they also fix carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and help to decrease greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The selected plants can also be used as raw materials for production of energy and bio-based chemicals. However, little research has been carried out on air phytoremediation technology, especially in the basic research area. This editorial gives a brief discussion about air phytoremediation to stimulate more research on this technology and further improve its effectiveness in practical use.

“…Effective air sterilization and purification are critical to mitigating the challenges of airborne pathogen transmission and protecting the public health. There are many types of air purification technologies that are reported and even commercialized in industrial and household applications such as adsorption by activated carbon adsorbents and photocatalysis for disinfection and volatile organic compound removal. , Additionally, for industrial waste gas treatment, other technologies such as electrostatic precipitator for particulate removal and catalytic conversion to reduce nitrogen and sulfur oxides were all reported previously, which are not the focuse of this review. Besides, some review articles also reported other technologies or processes, such as lysozyme technology and disinfectant spraying, which are also not within the scope of this review.…”

As COVID-19 and other infectious diseases continue to spread globally, removing airborne pathogens from confined spaces such as buildings, transportation carriers, and stations is becoming increasingly crucial to curbing transmission and reducing human infection rates. Bioaerosols can act as vectors or media that could store and transport air pollutants and pathogens. To mitigate the adverse effects of bioaerosols and effectively control epidemics, this work reviews the current state-ofthe-art air purification processes and technologies available on the market or demonstrated in laboratory and industrial settings, including ozone oxidation, UV disinfection, and photocatalysis. These reactive air purification processes can be used in conjunction with adsorption or filtration-based systems to enhance disinfection besides the physical capture of particulates or the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This review aims to provide a concise yet comprehensive overview of various reactive air purification technologies. Their principles, applications, and limitations are briefly discussed to provide insight and guidelines for further development of new air purification processes to address emerging airborne contaminant issues.
