Otrivine brings the world’s first air-purifying “Air Bubble” to Glasgow in a bid to raise awareness of the devastating effect of air pollution on children’s health.

Air pollution is considered the world’s largest environmental health threat, with 93 per cent of children breathing polluted air every day according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).

The Air Bubble, launched to help bring this invisible crisis to the top of the agenda, is an educational architecture, using biotechnology to purify the air.

The nose is one of our first lines of defence when it comes to filtering out particle pollutants from the air we breathe. Otrivine is demonstrating how innovative nature-based technology can expand the functionality of our nose to ‘clean’ the air we breathe in polluted urban environments.

By using microalgae to actively filter and re-metabolise pollution particles and carbon dioxide in a specially designed interactive environment, the Otrivine Air Bubble, Warsaw provided an 80 per cent reduction in PM2.5 (particulate matter) levels on average, achieving healthier air quality levels and allowing visitors to experience cleaner air in an engaging way.
