Currently, individuals in India experience the highest impact from various diseases triggered by air pollution globally. Air pollution is considered to be the main contributor to climate change, that is why it provokes a growing concern not only in India but around the world.
About 100% of the Indian population live in areas with PM2.5 concentrations – particulate pollutants that have a diameter of fewer than 2.5 micrometers, therefore, the control of air pollution is greatly needed in that area. India ranks as the second most populated nation globally, with a significant migration from rural areas to urban centers leading to heightened levels of air pollution.
In January 2019, the National Air Pollution Control Program was launched to perform air treatment by developing a pan-India air quality monitoring network and improving citizen awareness. Delhi has made substantial efforts to regulate air pollution levels; however, it is not yet the appropriate time to cease anti-pollution initiatives despite the encouraging outcomes. Even now, the typical concentration of PM2.5 and PM10 particulate pollutants is two to three times above permissible limits.
Air treatment technologies have great potential to become a crucial promoter of reducing air pollution across the globe. One of the possible solutions is the use of ICT solutions that affect transportation, electricity grids, manufacturing, agriculture, and land use. It is expected that this air pollution control measure could facilitate achieving a third of the necessary emission reduction required by 2030.
For instance, there is currently a joint initiative involving researchers, businesses, and the public sector aimed at realizing electrified transportation in Sweden, which could significantly reduce transport-related particulate pollution. Air pollution management allows for the identification of sources and areas of major concern, aligns them with regulations and guidelines, and ultimately assesses the success of measures taken to reduce the concentration of particulate pollutants.
Air pollution control means collaboration between industry, local municipal authorities, the University of Chicago, and Harvard University resulting in particulate pollutant limitations. Additionally, the regulation of air pollution levels must be conducted continuously. Such an air pollution control program has been already tested, and it allows the collection of real-time data for analysis to increase awareness, supporting policy intervention and enabling corrective measures to decrease air pollution in the city to be taken.
Wet air scrubbers are the most commonly employed air treatment devices that satisfy air pollution standards. If you would like to make your contribution to improving air quality in order to provide air pollution control, Redwood Technology offers a cutting-edge Multi-Vortex scrubber. Multi-Vortex wet air scrubber could apply water contaminated with dust, sand, and even small rocks to capture particulate matter, different types of dust and some gases from the air.
