    Air pollution in Medellín is a growing problem caused mainly by industry, livestock, and vehicles. It is producing more diseases and deaths every day as particulate matter in the air becomes almost impossible to expel due to the city's growth. The elderly and those with breathing difficulties are most affected. Research is being done to reduce particulate matter and prevent illness, such as a proposed device using algae to absorb carbon dioxide pollution from highly contaminated areas and filter pure air.

    Air pollution in Medellín

    Air pollution in Medellín and throughout the Aburrá Valley is becoming more worrisome, because
    every day it causes more diseases and deaths. The air is mainly polluted by industry, livestock and
    vehicles; These three, being a great boost for the city's commerce, are growing more, leaving
    Medellín with so much particulate material that it is almost impossible to expel it over its great
    mountains. For this reason, it is important to take precautions with people who have breathing
    difficulties or with the elderly since these are the most affected.

    Much research has been done in order to reduce particulate matter in the air and prevent as many
    diseases as possible. With this in mind, an idea based on the use of algae is proposed so that these
    with their great CO2 adsorption capacity can remove the greatest amount of this pollutant from
    the air.

    It is a device that contains algae, located in a place with high levels of contamination, so that they
    can adsorb more easily and pure air can be filtered so that people can do their activities with much
    more safety and confidence.
