ABSTRACT
Rising air pollution is a cause of concern throughout the world. With rapid industrialization, growth of transportation industry, increasing construction activities, all has taken a toll on the air quality. The air quality in most parts of our country remains poor to moderately pollute for maximum part of the year. P.M. 2.5, P.M. 10, NOx, and SOx are the primary pollutants. Along with the poor quality of air, COVID-19 has added to the misery by affecting the respiratory tract and further worsening the condition of a patient. Through this project, we aim to build a economical solar powered air purifier that can be installed in each and every household as well as outdoors, catering to the air quality indoors, and contributing in purification of the air in the surrounding environment. The air purifier would be capable of providing air filtration as well as sterilization be powered by solar energy and be available at an affordable price. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
