Air pollution remains a crucial problem in low-income countries. The thing is that air pollution is considered to be 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.
Thus, the researchers have analyzed the six-state area (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin) where various aging and shuttered industrial factories are located to examine the level of air quality. Therefore, due to a four-year analysis, it was established that in spite of the significant improvement of air quality because of air treatment activities, non-improved air pollution hot spots were registered.
The results of air pollution control analysis demonstrate that “for every 1 percent increase in low-income African Americans living in an area, the odds that an area would become a hot spot grew significantly. This was also true, but to a lesser extent, for increases in low-income white populations.”
Such a situation is not surprising because of the movement of African American people north toward industry from southern rural states during the Great Migration. Nevertheless, all the air pollution control efforts are not far enough to significantly improve the level of air quality, resulting in the elimination of the health inequities in these regions.
The results of the analysis prove that it is highly necessary to look at older industrial plants and the principle of air pollution control and how enforcement is happening in these areas. 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 matters or on a single toxin rather than their combinations that present the most impact.
The best way to improve the situation is considered to be the use of air treatment devices. To be more precise, special devices for air treatment allow improving poor air quality, herewith, they offer perfect air cleaning both for private and industrial purposes. Such an advantage as easy and quick installation makes air treatment devices quite useful.
If you would like to make your contribution to improving air quality, you should choose a new type of wet scrubbers that is 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.
