Abstract:Urbanization and industrialization increased population density in cities and consequently leads to severe indoor and
outdoor air pollution. As a result of these trends, the issue of sustainable and healthy indoor and outdoor environment has received
increasing attention. Various air filtration techniques have been adopted to optimize indoor and outdoor air quality. Air filtration
technique can remove air pollutants and effectively alleviate the deterioration of indoor and outdoor air quality.A comprehensive
review on the synergistic effect of different air purification technologies, air filtration theory, materials and standards. It evaluated
different air filtration technologies by considering factors such as air quality improvement, filtering performance, energy and economic
behavior, thermal comfort and acousticimpact. Current research development of air filtration technologies along with their advantages,
limitations and challenges are discussed. Air pollution has become the world's single biggest environmental health risk, linked to
around 7 million deaths in 2012 according to a recent World Health Organization (WHO) report. The new data further reveals a
stronger link between, indoor and outdoor air pollution exposureand cardiovascular diseases, such as strokes and ischemic heart
disease, as well as between air pollution and cancer. This project aims to drive the future of air filtration technology research and
development in achieving sustainable and healthy building ventilation

I. INTRODUCTION

Pollution has rocked the world with skyrocketing pollution levels. Though the long-term solution to the pollution problem lies
in finding and minimizing pollution sources, we need to bring the current pollution levels under control by the time. The best way
of controlling pollution is by using air purifiers. But regular indoor air purifiers are small low power devices that don’t possess
enough purifying capability needed for outdoor spaces. Even though indoor air purifiers help. For controlling air pollution, we need
reliable, low-cost device to tackle these problems. This Air filtration system can be used to clean the air up to hundred cubic meters
of its surroundings. This device can also be used for very large spaces. By using solar energy, it can be used without any external
power source. Can be used in very crowded areas and educational institute and so on. This device can help maintain safe
environment for people. An air purifier or air cleaner is a device which removes contaminants from the air in a room to improve
indoor air quality. These devices are commonly marketed as being beneficial to allergy sufferers and asthmatics, and at reducing or
eliminating second-hand tobacco smoke.The commercially graded air purifiers are manufactured as either small stand-alone units
or larger units that can be affixed to an air handler unit (AHU) or to an HVAC unit found in the medical, industrial, and commercial
industries. Air purifiers may also be used in industry to remove impurities from air before processing. Pressure swing adsorbers or
other adsorption techniques are typically used for this. Air filters, and primarily those intended for ventilation of living and working
spaces, are classified by efficiency in the CEN/EUROVENT classification, much depends, in their selection, on the degree of
protection required and the volume of air to be treat. Actual requirements can range from normal room protection to the supply of
sterile air for critical processes and biomedical applications. For positive protection against sub-micrometre particles and small
particles of up to 5–10 µm, filters capable of an absolute cut-off are essential. This sets on specific limits.

I. SCOPE OF PROJECT
Past few decades the air pollution is getting worse and people are dying because of that. To solve this problem, we need clean
air. So, by making air filtration system for large spaces and outdoor we can reduce the air pollution. This project aims to make air
filtration system for large spaces and outdoor. It’s the basic solution which can be done. We need to reduce the rate at which the
pollution happens but immediately we need to reduce the pollution. By making use of this device, we are planning to control the
pollution. It’s slightly disgusting to think about, but many of the viruses that make us sick are found in the air we breathe. When
someone who is sick sneezes or coughs, they expel infected droplets into the air. Those droplets remain in the air and may be
inhaled by others later, causing illness. Diseases ranging from the common cold to COVID are spread via airborne transmission.
Whether it’s because of pet dander, seasonal pollen, or dust mites, allergies are commonly triggered by the air we breathe. Home air

purifiers effectively filter out a wide variety of airborne contaminants that lead to allergy symptoms like watery eyes, wheeziness,
and overall discomfort. A 2018 study found that air purification systems provided significant relief for allergy sufferers over a four-
week trial period. One of the long-term benefits of an air purifier is the support it provides to your air conditioning system. An air
purifier can help extend the life of your AC by removing airborne contaminants that add an extra burden on your system.
Researchers from the University of Denmark discovered that the quality of the air we breathe has a major impact on our sleep
quality. It’s asimportant as the temperature in the room and noise levels. With lower risks of heart disease and obesity directly
correlated with proper sleep, it’s clear that enough rest is a critical component for overall health. Consider air conditioning with air
filtration or purification systems that can help improve your sleep quality. Air purifiers suck dust and other airborne pollutants right
out of the air, trapping the particles within internal filters inside of the device. This means less dust finding its way into nooks and
crannies throughout your home. But not all air purifiers rely on a passive filter-based approach to fight indoor air pollution. Ever
traced your finger over a surface in your home, and found it caked in dust? Even if you frequently clean, getting rid of dust can feel
like a Sisyphean task with no end in sight. Luckily, an air purifier system can actually help you in your struggle.

Construction
• As we can see from the above figures, we first built the outer body part with welding within required dimensions.
• As we can see from the above figures, we first built the outer body part with welding within required dimensions. And
then we fitted solar panel at angle of maximum solar radiations absorbing points.
• One blower exhaust fan is fixed inside the top of the body so it can suck the air with pressure.
• The first layer of filter is fixed properly. the first one is washable filter.
• Then HEPA filter is fixed above the washable filter.
• activated carbon filter is fixed above the carbon filter because air is sucked from the bottom part of the system.
• And HEPA is the filter which absorb maximum air and filters more so we are planned purify the air maximum at first
case.
• And one blower fan is fixed again bottom at the system.
• Supporting stands are given for balancing and moving purpose.
• At last, we fixed the air monitoring system for getting data’s as we expecting after purifying process.
• Inside of the chamber is filled with thermocol and cardboard so excess impurified air cannot pass through.
• Sensors are fixed in section of filters.so it senses the content of air and gives the data in monitoring system.
• Display is there to show the outcome data of ait quality.
III. WORKING METHODOLOGY
Most outdoor air purification technologies come from industrial waste gas and related gas treatment technologies. The
technology is divided into three main categories: dust removal technology, gas purification and sterilization technology. The main
outdoor air purification technologies include filtration purification, activated carbon adsorption purification, water washing
purification, electrostatic purification, plasma purification, photocatalytic purification and other purification technologies. Here
outdoor air dust removal technology is derived from atmospheric dust removal technology. The most common methods are fibre
filtration and electrostatic dust removal. Activated carbon filtration is still the most common method for gas purification, and ozone
and ultraviolet radiation are the most commonly used sterilization techniques. We are now using carbon, washable and HEPA
purifying methods.

Overall method of work

• At first air is sucked through air blower fan from four sides.
• Then air passes through the washable filter and HEPA filter purifies it.
• Again, it passes through activated carbon filter and purifies.
• At last, all purified air passes out and monitoring.
• During passing out process the sensors are used to read or sense the air quality and gives information to the main
controller.
• One exhaust fan is fixed so by putting pressure on air it can suck the air.
• All the air is out through filters with better quality of air and through display we can get the data.

IV. CONCLUSION
The main focus of this project is to get better quality of air in different methods by using multi filters. And we are hoping in
getting that.
This project includes the fact of purification of air where air can be treated well enough to breath from polluted air. This
method of purifying air is natural where we are using renewable energy so it is outdoor air filtration system. Can be kept outside
and can use without electricity supply.
