WHAT IS A SMOG TOWER ?

WHAT IS A SMOG?:

           Smog is a mixture of smoke and fog (tiny water droplets), which is nothing but air pollution that can be seen in most of the developing and developed cities. This cause irritation, lung and heart diseases like asthma, emphysema, etc...

CAUSING AGENTS OF SMOG:

                   There are two types of smog namely
*Sulphurous smog
*Photochemical smog

SULPHUROUS SMOG : It is also known as London smog. This type of smog is caused due to the high concentration of sulphur oxides (sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide) in air, the source of sulphur oxide is burning of coal, volcanic eruptions, etc...

PHOTOCHEMICAL SMOG: This type of smog is caused by the reaction of sunlight with nitrogen oxide. Usually nitrogen oxide is produced by the reaction of nitrogen and oxygen at high temperature. The main source of nitrogen oxide is burning of fuels by vehicles and coal for electricity, etc...

SMOG TOWER:

        A smog tower is a structure that purifies the impure air and releases clean air. These type of structures can be seen all over the world in the Urban cities. A smog tower can only purify air but we humans must be in concern about the air of controlling it.

SMOG FREE TOWER:

        Smog free project is a mission to reduce air pollution led by Daan Roosegaarde. The first ever smog free tower has been constructed in a public park named Virhansstraat 52, Netherlands. The smog free tower is about 7 m high and capable of cleaning 30,000 m3 of air per hour. It uses less green electricity produced by boiling of water.

 SMOG FREE RING:

        Smog free ring is another addition to the Smog free project. Which has small amount of smog collected by the smog free tower. By owning this we donate 1000m3 of clean air.

SMOG FREE BICYCLE:

       Smog free bicycle is another addition to the smog free project. Which is under development, this cycle will purify the air and provide clean air.
