Air pollution continues to be a significant issue in low-income nations. It is a source of numerous diseases and can be found especially in places where the majority of low-income and African-American people live, according to the information presented at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association in New York.
The researchers examined the six-state region (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin) that contains numerous aging and closed industrial plants to assess the quality of the air. Consequently, a four-year study determined that although there was a notable enhancement in air quality due to air treatment efforts, certain untreated air pollution hotspots were identified.
The findings from the analysis of air pollution control indicate that “with every 1% rise in low-income African Americans residing in a region, the likelihood of that region becoming a hot spot increased considerably.” This was also applicable, though to a smaller degree, for rises in low-income white population.
This scenario is unsurprising due to the migration of African American individuals northward to industrial areas from rural southern states during the Great Migration. All efforts to control air pollution are insufficient to enhance air quality, preventing the eradication of health disparities in these areas.
The findings of the analysis demonstrate that it is extremely important to examine older industrial facilities, the principle of air pollution management, and the methods of enforcement in these regions. It is a well-known fact that air pollution is the main reason for an array of health problems, however, these links are not thoroughly examined as they should be because the researchers focus their efforts on particulate matter or on a single toxin rather than their combinations that cause the main impact.
The best way to improve the situation is considered to be the use of air treatment devices. Special devices for air treatment allow for improving poor air quality, they offer perfect air cleaning both for private and industrial purposes. The benefit of simple and fast installation makes air treatment devices very practical.
If you would like to make your contribution to improving air quality, you should choose a new type of wet scrubbers that Redwood Technology offers a cutting-edge Multi-Vortex scrubber. Multi-Vortex scrubbing system 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. Multi-Vortex Scrubbers are replacing conventional scrubbing systems in ore and coal mining widely.
