Nitrogen oxides (NO{sub x}) are primary air pollutants and, as such, there is considerable interest in the development of efficient, cost effective technologies to remediate NO{sub x} containing emissions. Biofiltration involves the venting of contaminated gas streams through biologically active material such as soil or compost. This technology has been used successfully to control odors as well as volatile organic compounds from a variety of industrial and public sources. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of using biofiltration to convert NO{sub x} to nitrogen gas.
