About us
We are Mingdao iGEM 2019, and we improve indoor air quality by:
- Removing CO2: Our device decreases indoor CO2 concentration
- Producing fresh air: Our device produces oxygen gas
- Tackling the deficiencies of current air purifiers: Our device also removes gases such as VOCs (e.g. Benzene)
Did you know?
Facts about CO2
- Indoor CO2 concentration is 3~8 times higher than outdoor CO2 concentration (~400ppm)
- Increased CO2 concentration sometimes causes drowsiness, high blood pressure, and severe headache
- Can hardly be removed by an air purifiers
Facts about VOCs
- New furnishings, wall coverings, and office equipments will possibly result in the production of VOCs
- Exposure to benzene may cause stomach irritation, headaches, leukemia, and even death
- Can hardly be removed by air purifiers
Modeling
- A mathematical model:
To determine the CO2 concentration exhaled by people. - An enzyme kinetics model:
To calculate how effective our enzymes and cyanobacteria work together to reduce CO2 in an enclosed space. - An CO2 level simulator:
To graphically and dynamically represent how the indoor carbon dioxide concentration changes over time.
Technology
- Microalgae system as the air purifier
- Designed through synthetic biology
- Host:
Bacillus subtilis 168 - Enzymes:
CA and CYP2E1 - Product:
Spirulina spp. as food supplements & fertilizers
- Host:
Human Practices
- Integrated HP
- Brainstorming
- Product design
- Entrepreneurship
- Education & public engagement
- Biotech workshop
- Public engagement
- Public awareness
- iGEM collaboration and conference
Hardware
CAir™ and CAir Pro™, brand-new photobioreactors
- Portable - can be moved around
- Efficiency - have significant effects in a short period of time
- Multi-functional - clean up indoor air, produce oxygen, and offer algae as fertilizers or food supplements
CAir™ Trol, an arduino bluetooth controller
- Platform: an Android app on mobile phones
- Display: the status of CO2 & O2 measured
- Control: LED light, blender, air pump, and power
