Abstract: Disclosed are examples of luminaires that provide light for general illumination and treat air via a biofilter. In the examples, a luminaire may include a light source configured to illuminate a space, a biofilter configured to treat air, and an air circulation system. The light source may be configured to illuminate a space in which the luminaire is located with general illumination light. The biofilter may include an air permeable membrane, a substrate, and a microorganism that treats air that comes in contact with the microorganism. The air circulation system is configured to draw air into contact with the biofilter and output air treated by contact with the biofilter into at least a portion of the space illuminated by the light source.

Abstract: Disclosed are examples of luminaires that provide light for general illumination and detect toxins in air via a biosensor. In the examples, a luminaire may include a light source configured to illuminate a space, a biosensor configured to detect toxins in the air, and an air circulation system. The light source may be configured to illuminate a space in which the luminaire is located with general illumination light. The biosensor may include an air permeable membrane, a substrate, and a microorganism that responds to the presence of a toxin in the air that comes in contact with the microorganism. A sensor may detect the response by the microorganism of the presence of the toxin, and output a signal indicating the presence of the toxin based on the detected response. A processor coupled to the luminaire may receive the outputted sensor signal and output a report of the toxin.
