Air pollution control via a smoke capturing device for vehicles

Air pollution has become a major threat for any nation. It is a major environmental and public health issue in urban cities like Delhi in India. Among the various sources of air pollution in these urban gas chambers, vehicular emissions are the most significant, contributing to high levels of particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and other harmful pollutants. This paper proposes a novel solution to reduce vehicular emissions by capturing the smoke at the exhaust pipe of vehicles using a device that filters and stores the pollutants. By restricting harmful smoke, a city can be turned into pollution-free smart city. The paper describes the design, working, and feasibility of the device, and estimates the potential emission reduction and health benefits of its implementation. The paper also compares the device with existing technologies and discusses its limitations and future directions.
