Application and potential assessment of self-sustainable anti-smog device
(UMT Lahore, 2021-07) Ali Abdullah; Muhammad Junaid Asif; Malik Waqar Ahmad
Air pollution has become a major issue in various populated cities of the world. The situation is hazardous to human health especially when weather conditions combine making it airborne. This research aims to determine and enhance the potential of novel self-sustainable anti-smog devices to control air quality index (AQI). The device is comprised an air filtration medium. In first phase we determine the pollutants and their relevancy with the economic activity such as industrial area, heavy traffic roads or brick kilns. This results in most prominent pollutant and specific need of filtration media according to site. The research aims are achieved using a three pronged approach. Different air filtration media are analyzed for their affectivity on prominent pollutants. A test bench is utilized to test different filters. The most efficient air filter (combination of filters) is suggested through experimentation.
