According to the last study, strict air pollution control promotes preventing premature deaths caused by particulate pollutants, even in countries with dominated coal industries. Therefore, it is important to use air treatment devices that will help to solve the widespread problem of air pollution.
The coal industries present significant problems in overcoming air pollution and climate changes. Even though numerous air pollution control programs have been created, not all companies meet the current requirements and employ air treatment systems to comply with the regulations.
The thing is that improper enforcement of air pollution control results in poor air quality and severe health damages. For instance, pm 2.5 is responsible for about 15.000 deaths in India, and the number is expected to increase. There is an opinion that the contribution of coal power plants is minimal to air pollution. However, it is a mistake, and particulates from coal industries should be also treated. It should be noted that scrubber systems are ideal for air treatment at coal plants.
Moreover, numerous air treatment policies lead to simultaneous treatement and changing the way of energy use, for example, “shutting down inefficient coal units, increasing renewable energy use, improving energy efficiency, etc.” Nevertheless, it is not a perfect idea. Air treatment devices such as scrubber systems can greatly reduce the level of air pollution but they do not change the energy use.
The main aim of “clean air policies” includes the decrease of particulate pollutants in the air. The regulations are based on the use of air treatment systems that can control such emissions as sulfur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter (for example, pm 2.5) from thermal power plants, among other particulate pollutants.
PM 2.5 is considered to be the most dangerous emission for human health because of its fine size. PM 2.5 is responsible for most long-term health damages and it results in larger mortality rates than other types of particulate pollutants. Most countries can not reduce or eliminate the application of coal, for example, India. This is the main reason why air pollution control plays a crucial role in the increase of public health.
According to the latest data, weak air pollution control leads to more than 100.000 infant deaths in India. The level of household air pollution has been significantly reduced compared to industrial pollution. The level of outdoor pm 2.5 remains virtually the same. Finally, over half of particulate emissions are produced by coal power plants, the absence of air treatment systems such as wet scrubbers will lead to the degradation of air quality and an increase in deaths.
If you would like to make your contribution to improving air quality to provide air pollution control, Redwood Technology offers a cutting-edge wet scrubbers that is Multi-Vortex scrubber. Multi-Vortex wet air scrubber could apply water contaminated with dust, sand, and even small rocks to capture particulate pollutants, different types of dust, and some gases from the air.
This type of scrubber is an ideal solution for ore and coal mining. Thus, it can be used in different mining, combustion, and chemical processes to capture gases. Also, in some cases, the unique Multi-Vortex scrubber design allows utilizing cheaper reagents to capture the pollutant gas with more efficiency than a standard wet scrubber.
