Perhaps Delhi’s air pollution woes, which keep getting worse every passing day might have a sustainable solution after all. On Tuesday (30 October), a technology that could help purify ground-level air, gained certification from the National Physical Laboratory of India (NPLI). This technology, which is now in its pilot stage, is also expected work in open environments, as reported by Economic Times.
According to NPLI, if this technology called ‘CleanAirZone’, goes mainstream, it could help cut down pollution of PM 2.5 (Particulate Matter) by as much as 90 per cent. PM 2.5 are tiny particles in the air that reduce visibility and cause the air to appear hazy when levels are elevated.
Sukhbir Sidhu, founder and CEO, Evergen Systems which developed the technology, has claimed that this technology can be installed in a wide variety of public places like hospitals, schools and bus stands.
The technology makes use of a proprietary dual purifier system that uses a combination of nanoparticles and chemical media to remove both dust particles and harmful gases like NOx, SOx etc.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
