TakeAir's technology focuses on improving indoor air quality by using beneficial microorganisms, which reduce the presence of pathogens and airborne pollutants. By doing so, TakeAir aids in mitigating air pollution and contributes to a healthier environment within buildings. The use of natural elements and the reduction of harsh chemicals align with environmental sustainability objectives.
100% biobased mitigation of airborne pollutants
The technology's core relies on a BioRemediation module that introduces beneficial microorganisms into indoor environments. This method utilizes a specially designed blend of microorganisms called AirProbiome, consisting of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and Bacillus probiotic strains.
These naturally occurring microorganisms work symbiotically to purify indoor air quality without relying on synthetic or chemical agents which preserve indoor ecosystems and reduce potential harm to biodiversity within buildings.
Moreover, introducing these commensal bacteria contributes to reduced dominance of common human-derived microorganisms (e.g. Micrococcus and Staphylococcus) restoring the indoor microbial biodiversity.
Preservation of ecosystems
Chemical disinfectants, while effective for sanitation, can contribute to environmental harm and negatively impact indoor air quality, for ex. by releasing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which contribute to air pollution and irritation of the respiratory system.
Bacteria and viruses may develop resistance to these chemicals, making them less effective over time and posing challenges in controlling infections.
TakeAir reduces the need for frequent chemical use by naturally enhancing indoor air quality. This reduces the environmental footprint associated with the production, use, and disposal of chemical agents, aligning with environmentally-friendly building management.
Less allergens in the indoor environment
Fungal sensitization is a key risk factor for allergic rhinitis and asthma, contributing significantly to acute respiratory issues. Globally, an estimated 3–10% of the population suffers from fungal allergies. Those with atopic tendencies, frequently exposed to fungi and mold spores, often experience recurring symptoms of rhinitis and asthma.
Biospheric Air Treatment technology introduces beneficial microorganisms into indoor spaces, effectively reducing airborne allergens like fungal spores. The AirProbiome blend includes Bacillus strains that help break down volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are known to trigger respiratory allergies.
