[/caption] British architecture and innovation firm ecoLogicStudio has created the world's first biotech playground using air-purifying microalgae. AirBubble is located in central Warsaw, Poland, and creates a purified microclimate for children to play in, described as "a real air bubble" pure". Warsaw was chosen as the first activation for this project as it is one of the most polluted cities in Europe.

[/caption] The playground integrates photosynthetic technology for advanced integration of photosynthesis into the built environment. “To achieve this, we need to think of the living world as part of the current digital revolution: nature becomes part of a new bio-smart infrastructure ,” said Marco Poletto , co-founder of ecoLogicStudio.

[/caption] The AirBubble monitoring system integrates urban air pollution sensors and is connected to a data processing platform capable of comparing real-time measurements and highlighting the Air Quality Index for six main pollutants: fine particles PM2.5 and PM10, ground level ozone (O3), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO). AirBubble is capable of absorbing 97% of nitrogen and 75% of particles from the air.

[/caption] In the coming months, AirBubble will become a unique urban laboratory, a testbed for applied biotechnology and its application in combating air pollution and mitigating its effects on children's health .

[/caption] “This playground needs two sources of energy: solar energy and children’s instinctive drive to explore and play. These constitute the playground’s inexhaustible and renewable fuels that can be effortlessly obtained,” said Claudia Pasquero , co-founder of ecoLogicStudi.
