It is known from waste water technology that the micro-organisms existing in a clarification plant under living conditions as optimal as possible, are capable of decomposing pollution in waste water. This knowledge has been used to search for low-cost waste air treatment technologies. Odour substances of a waste air are decomposed by microbial procedures. The possibility of biological waste air clarification by means of bio-filter plants or compost filter plants is discussed in this paper. There are indications of this technology as early as in the year 1928. Technical progress can be noted with this technology, as well.
