An efficient method for air purification, patented by professors from the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering and the Faculty of Agriculture in Skopje

Makedonski Telekom supported a design solution to reduce air pollution, patented by professors from the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering and the Faculty of Agriculture in Skopje.

It involves aerosolization – an efficient ecological method whereby, by dispersing very small drops of water, the PM10 particles and the other pollutants stick to the surface of the soil and thus purify the air.

The aerosolization devices are called turbo-atomisers, and they are the same ones used for irrigation of agricultural surfaces.

Telekom joined the implementation of the solution by donating two such devices, which will be used in different locations, in coordination with the relevant institutions.

In the process of aerosolization, the air is purified by means of regular water in combination with sweeteners. Thus, apart from being simple, this method is also environmentally suitable for urban areas, because no chemicals are used.

According to the measurements made so far in the municipalities of Aerodrom and Kumanovo, the aerosolization brings about a reduction of the pollution of 60-70% for duration of approximately ten hours. Although the effect is short-term, with continuous use, it will contribute greatly in the fight against air pollution, which is a growing threat, especially in the large cities.

This donation is part of the #Telekom Goes Green initiative of Makedonski Telekom, which includes numerous environmental protection activities, such as: use of electric bicycles, electric vehicles, group eco actions of the employees, creation of the waste location application CleanAppMK, etc.
