we humans are very careless we prefer money over health meanwhile
pollution is increasing significantly in the past ten years we have water
purifiers to filter our water but what about air pollution do you think you're
breathing in pure air according to wh0 9 out of 10 people are
breathing polluted air which kills 7 million people each year due to air
pollution alone there are 24% deaths happening from stroke 43% of deaths due
to lung diseases and 25% of deaths occur from heart diseases in 2015
pollution killed 9 million people worldwide furthermore in India almost
after every 23 seconds one person dies due to it but don't worry today we're
going to discuss some of the innovative solutions to reduce the overall
pollution and the world
number one an air purifier air purifiers or air cleaners are devices that remove
contaminants in the air of a room these devices are commonly marketed as being
beneficial to people who are suffering from allergies and asthma and it can
reduce or eliminate secondhand tobacco smoke air purifiers can be used in
industry or at home to remove the smallest but most dangerous particles
from the air basically it consists of a pre-filter carbon filter and HEPA filter
pre-filter removes large dust particles whereas a carbon filter removes
dangerous of gases from the air while a HEPA filter is the most important one
which filters out the smallest particles of 2.5 microns these air purifiers are
portable and affordable and can clean up to 99% of the air so without a doubt
it's amazing
number two electric induction technology
the combustion of natural gases and solid fuels can cause damage to our
health and be hazardous natural gases in their original States contain radon and
benzene chemicals which may cause cancer electromagnetic or magnetic induction
technology is the newest way of cooking which produces an electro-motive force
across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field however new
lower-cost and efficient induction cookers are entering the markets and are
proving to be a viable option in countries like Nepal and India when an
adequate electricity source exists electric induction cooking is
environmentally friendly and a better way to reduce indoor air pollution
number three electric vehicles passenger vehicles and heavy-duty trucks are the
major sources of air pollution which includes ozone particulate matter and
other smog-forming emissions to solve these problems we have to use electric
cars which are increasingly becoming more popular nowadays Tesla has released
three electric cars model three Model S and Model X these are the safest cars
with the lowest probability of injury on a single charge model three can go up to
310 miles while Tesla Roadster can go up to 620 miles at a speed of 250 miles per
hour electric vehicles offer potential air quality improvements especially
related to no.2 and carbon monoxide at the same time electric motors are three
to four times more efficient than gasoline or diesel engines Tesla also
launched Tesla's semi truck in 2017 on a full charge this truck can go up to 500
miles or 805 kilometers which is actually surprisingly good number forms
China's air purifier tower recently the Chinese government has
constructed a 100 meter high air purification tower in the City of John
and Shanxi Province the aim was to reduce the smog levels in the city
it's the largest air purifier tower in the world to date according to the head
of research they observed improvements in the quality of air over an area of 10
square kilometers in the city over the past few months the tower has produced
more than 10 million cubic meters of fresh and clean air here polluted air is
sucked in heated up and then circulated through multiple layers of cleaning
filters artificially it removes pollutants from the atmosphere such as
PM 2.5 nitrates and sulfur dioxide which are the most harmful to human health
according to its original design this full sized tower will reach 500 meters
high with a diameter of 200 meters this tower size will capture pollutants
approximately in 30 square kilometers and be capable of purifying the air for
small sized cities number 5 air quality meter
scientific evidence has indicated that indoor air pollution can be worse than
outdoor pollutants and large and industrialized cities many products and
chemicals are used inside the home for cooking and heating and for appliances
in home decor these are primary sources of indoor air pollutants air pollution
sensors are available in the market which are devices that detect and
monitor the presence of air pollution in the surrounding area many AQI meters
measures ozone particulate matter of 2.5 and 10 microns carbon monoxide sulfur
dioxide and nitrous oxide they can be used for both indoor and outdoor
environments number six renewable energy sources renewable energy is the energy
that is produced from clean sources like solar energy wind energy hydroelectric
power geothermal energy and biomass let's discuss solar energy first solar
energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is harnessed using a range
of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating photo optics solar thermal
energy solar architecture molten salt power plants and artificial
photosynthesis Noora complex is the world's largest
concentrated solar power plant located in the Sahara Desert this project has a
580 megawatt capacity and is expected to provide electricity for over 1 million
people once completed by 2020
Wednes energy describes the process by which wind is used to generate
electricity wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into
mechanical power and then a generator can convert mechanical power into
electricity Gansu wind farm in China produces 8,000
megawatts of electricity and is expected to grow in capacity to 20,000 megawatts
by 2020 hydroelectric power or hydropower is the most common type of
hydroelectric power plant that uses a dam on a river to store water in a
reservoir water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine
spinning it which in turns activates a generator to produce electricity in 2012
the Three Gorges Dam in China took over the first spot of the largest
hydroelectric dam in terms of electricity production
it has a generating capacity of twenty two thousand five hundred megawatts
number seven carbon dioxide extractor
global research technologies LLC has announced its success an ongoing
research and development of a proprietary air capture system to remove
carbon dioxide co2 from the atmosphere the co2 air capture process that GRT has
developed is a sophisticated breakthrough beyond earlier concepts it
has a tremendous value for all of humanity
which will result in slowing down global warming number eight
innovative exhaust filters algae Mobil Appling Oh high school student has won
an award from the Environmental Protection Agency for his
environmentally-friendly invention it cleans up car exhaust that would
normally pollute the air Parrom jegi a 17 year old inventor
designed a device called the algae mobile which is inserted into the
exhaust pipe on the backside of a car through photosynthesis algae inside the
aluminum alloy tube converts carbon dioxide into oxygen and releases it into
the air for humans to breathe meat air Inc the world's first Inc made out of
air pollution founded by gravity labs a group of MIT Media Lab it uses a
patented device called Cal Inc to carry out the filtration of soot which
contains carbon and other polluting agents like heavy metals and carcinogens
number nine breathe the most intelligent anti-pollution mask produced to dates is
breeze it filters particles threatening new to your daily life from the fine
particles to bacteria it allows you to breathe comfortably and doesn't generate
moisture while exhaling its unique design allows your face to be visible as
user-friendly design is rechargeable has a smart fan and effective filter the
integrated fan helps you to breathe through the filter and it's intelligent
learning program can adjust the air for in accordance to individuals breathing
frequency breeze is equipped with anti PM 2.5 filters which provides you
protection against the most harmful and tiniest pollution particles number chant
n95 mask a disposable n95 mask is a safety device that covers the nose and
mouth and protects the wearer for breathing the most hazardous substances
an n95 mask protects you from breathing and small particles in the air such as
dust and mold nose filter now a team of innovators from Indian Institute of
Technology in New Delhi is offering another solution
a tiny respiratory filter that can be stuck in the nose to restrict particular
matters from entering the body without hampering your breathing
thanks for watching which technology impressed you the most let me know the
reasons in the comments section below subscribe to TTI and be my friend I'll
see you guys in my next episode peace and breathe save
