Before we discuss how effective a smog tower is, let’s first understand what exactly smog is.
Smog has become a major issue in this day and age, especially in the capital region of the country. To put it simply, smog is a type of intense visible air pollution that includes a mixture of fog and smoke. Smog contains air pollutants, such as sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, ozone, smoke and other particulates. These pollutants can cause a number of health effects.
The question arises of whether a smog tower can help remove smog. The very simple answer to this question is ‘No.’ because smog towers eliminate only particulate matter (small particles – smaller than a human hair).
What Is Smog Tower?
Smog Tower is a system of concrete that is designed with numerous layers of filters. An air purifier, a smog tower is a fan and a HEPA filter (High-efficiency particulate air that can trap harmful particles present in the air). It comprises 8-10 air purifiers. But these purifiers only act upon particulate matter. They do not purify the gaseous pollutants.
The size of a smog tower can range between 20-40 feet in height depending on the requirements. And it could be 20 feet on each side. This device has the quality to take in air from all 360-degree angles. The smog cleans air per hour. Further, the smog tower receives power from the grid.
What are the uses of Anti-Smog Tower?
We know that air pollution is one of the major causes of millions of premature deaths. Many of them suffer from irreversible health hazards and reduced lifespan in India. One solution to beat the issue of air contamination and make the air breathable once more is smog tower. This tower can be fitted in the open fields or spaces and wipe out the contamination to the region of 1,600 m2 around it.
