Mitigation of Air Pollution Using Pulsed Radio Waves Technology in the Ambient Environment

Abstract

Air pollution poses a significant threat to human society in terms of both health and climate. Particulate matter, particularly particles with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 30 μm, will get deposited in our organs through various processes. Traditional air purification technologies based on filters and fans are effective in reducing indoor air pollution. Given the effects of air pollutants on human health, there is a strong need for a technology that can work for ambient air by covering a large area of volume. Pulsed radio waves-based technology can be a strong solution for this kind of application. This Paper explains the technology and its application in detail. The technology used pulsed radio waves to create electromagnetic fields that affect the pollutants in the air to coagulate and deposit on the surface. This is how it mitigates the pollutants in the ambient environment. Testing has shown that in a controlled environment, particulate matter concentrations can be reduced by more than 65-70%. In addition, we tested in the real field and observed more than a 55% reduction in Particulate matter concentration in a month considering all external parameters, including metrological conditions.
