NEWS – Delhi deploys Anti-smog guns to improve air quality

ANTI-SMOG GUNS – ALL YOU HAVE TO KNOW

• Also known as dust or pollution control guns
• Designed to mitigate air pollution by reducing particulate matter (PM) and dust in the air
• How do they work:
  • Release a fine mist or water spray into the air
  • Water droplets capture particulate matter and dust, causing them to settle down
  • This process is known as dust suppression
• Features:
  • Mounted on vehicles or trailers, providing mobility to target specific areas with poor air quality (There are stationary models too)
  • Adjustable nozzles control the size of water droplets and the spray coverage
  • Remote control capabilities enable operators to adjust settings and control the device from a distance
• Benefit
  • By suppressing dust and particulate matter in the air, these devices help reduce the concentration of harmful pollutants that can have adverse effects on respiratory health and overall air quality
