In today's society, air quality is indeed a troublesome issue, especially for people living in densely populated urban areas and for those who spend most of their time indoors, working in crowded buildings.

Therefore, it should be considered good news that an Israelian company known as Better Air has developed a way to help clean up the air we breathe by using probiotics, which are basically bacteria and enzymes proven to be beneficial to human health.

The BioZone system seems to be highly efficient in ensuring proper air quality by removing most of the dirt, allergens and similar contaminants that are found floating about us most of the time, reports No Camels.

Moreover, since said bacteria's and enzymes all come from natural sources, it can be argued that this technology is much more environmentally friendly than your yesterday's cleaning-the-air-with-chemical-compounds strategies are.

Not to mention the fact that, by resorting to BioZone, one is really pushing for better air quality and not just replacing some harmful substances with others of its kind.

The same source informs us that Better Air decided to invest in developing and manufacturing the Bio Zone system when it came to understand that quite a lot of people suffer from the so-called Sick Building Syndrome, primarily as a result of their white-collar jobs.

Apparently, Better Air CEO recently told the press that “Instead of chemicals, our technology utilizes safe and beneficial bacterias and enzymes, like millions of tiny workers, that physically actually work down to the microscopic level, removing dirt, allergens and other contaminants.”

He goes on to explain, “Probiotics are as safe for your skin and for surfaces as yogurt is for the inside of your body.”

Seeing how crowded indoor areas tend to foster health threats such as various types of mold, it is our opinion that the BioZone system is something well-worth implementing in business and commercial areas around the world, especially if the people who spend a lot of time inside them have accused respiratory issues on several occasions in the past.
