Abstract:

Air pollution causes a variety of respiratory ailments, including “asthma, lung cancer, chest pain, congestion, throat inflammation, cardiovascular disorders, and respiratory diseases”. This contaminated environment not only harms human health, but it also harms plant development, reduces soil fertility, and alters soil structure. The primary contributors to this pollution are dust particles of various sizes, NOx gases that may contain microscopic particulates or liquid droplets small enough to enter the lungs and cause serious health concerns. Large particles have the potential to irritate the nose, throat, and eyes. Pneumoconiosis refers to a category of lung disorders caused by breathing in insoluble dusts, primarily mineral dusts, that the lungs cannot eliminate. With any dust particles that escaped the defenses in the nose and airways, the air reaches the tiny air suckers (alveoli) in the inner region of the lungs. So, in order to eliminate this effect, a little effort has been made to reduce the harmful effects of pollution and enhance human life by humanizing the state of the environment. The originality of the concept is that a single device will regulate the complete effect of pollution by separating dust as well as NOx emissions, which are extremely damaging to humans. This device will collect dust and other polluting gases from the environment and separate them. Finally, it will lessen the damaging effect of NOx gases by chemical reaction, leaving clear, clean gases in the air. An air pollution control device can be deployed anywhere to maintain pollution standards and improve human life.
