Scientists just found that freezing air
pollutants can help cut down the dangerous effects of air pollution to a great
extent!
Outdoor air pollution causes three million premature deaths
worldwide every year. But scientists have now discovered a novel method that
could stop these dangerous pollutants from coming indoors where they cause even
more prolonged harm. The study involved understanding the use of
cryogenics for purifying air indoors so that the gaseous pollutants and tiny
particulates caused by haze can be removed. The research team found that
as they circulated haze-polluted air through a cryogenic condenser, the finer
particles stuck together in the condenser tube before dropping out by gravity,
and emerging as clean air. The study on freezing air pollutants was
conducted by scientists from Nottingham Trent University in the UK and the
Chinese Academy of Sciences.
How can this technology be used in our
homes?
The new-found technique to clean air pollutants
simply by circulating polluted air through a small freezing chamber to remove
most of the fine particles and gas pollutants can help common people by making
their homes pollutant-free.
