Claim 0:
1. An exhaust hood system comprising:
an intake located within a building;
an output located outside of the building;
a duct connected between the intake and the output, the duct fluidly connecting the intake and the output together, the duct having
a vertical intake portion positioned within the building;
a vertical exhaust portion positioned outside of the building; and
a horizontal portion positioned between the vertical intake portion and the vertical exhaust portion;

a filter positioned within the duct between the intake and the output, the filter emitting a liquid within a portion of the duct;
a drain in fluid communication with the filter;
a drain line in fluid communication with the drain;
a valve in fluid communication with the drain line;
a recirculation line in fluid communication with the valve, the recirculation line in fluid communication with the filter;
a pump in fluid communication with the valve and the recirculation line, the pump directing fluid from the valve, through the recirculation line, and to the filter to emit the liquid;
an energy harvesting system including
a power source;
an electric turbine in electrical communication with the power source; and
a thermoelectric generator in electrical communication with the power source; and
a chamber in fluid communication with the drain, the chamber comprising a photosynthetic agent or a fungal agent,
wherein a flow path is defined from the intake and to the output,
wherein a portion of the vertical exhaust portion of the duct is coupled to the chamber, and
wherein the cross-section of the portion of the vertical exhaust portion of the duct that is coupled to the chamber increases along the flow path, and
wherein the cross-section of the chamber is larger than a cross-section of the vertical intake portion of the duct.
