Pollution Control is indeed an Opportunity!

           

Road Dust Collector

Everyday dust accumulates along road side and it's pollutes air especially industrial town. Municipal authorities normally collects garbage from housing/shops/hotels. But they don't have any system to pick dust from road/highways. if a vehicle is designed to collect dust it's beneath/side when it moves on road, the dust will be removed during night or less busy hour. It may work like vacuum cleaner. This car clean vast areas along with near by cities with large metro. It can be designed to clean side footpath, concreted areas, parking lot, dusty places. Even it may also pick plastic/paper/other things simultaneously. The suction pump may be attached at bottom and both side of vehicle or something like that. Water sprinkler may also attached to the system to precipitate dust inside the vehicle.

If we want to get rid of air pollution we need to collect dust from road/highways/urban areas regularly and dispose them somewhere else. We just need a new kind of vehicle to achieve that.

Control air pollution - air purification

There is an increasing amount of air pollution in the atmosphere, a major contributing source being automobiles, and another being dusts of various kind, leading us to the use of air purifiers at home, but if we think of reducing the air pollution at a larger scale, lets say around your house and neighbourhood, an effective system called Cyclone can be used, reference: http://www.britannica.com/technology/cyclone-technology..... taking the same principle to be used for a city level pollution clean up, huge skyscraper modules can be setup that purifies the air, this way cities like delhi, mumbai which have an alarming pollution index can control their levels.

The skyscraper module can be designed the way Cyclone is with additional air purification techniques, like charcoal mesh (adsorbent), various filters and wet scrubbers, in a massive scale and even the residue collected can be solidified by binding materials and used for various purposes such as construction raw material, or other crafty ideas for aesthetics. new innovative methods to reuse can be found...

Decibel meter for smart phones for healthy living

There can be damage due to noise pollution. We have seen that even in a family or a gathering sometimes the decibel level increases to an extent where it can damage the ear. One does not realize the health hazards. A smart phone enabled meter would monitor such levels and alert the user that they are crossing a threshold which can damage their ear.

Encourage Recycling with Rewards

Problem: Garbage, Pollution

Solution: something that accepts recyclable materials (in mind: plastic bottles) and gives points in return depending on how much you gave. Rewards can be redeemed using points. (ex: can be exchange for load in train pass/food/etc.) The top people who always recycles can be awarded.

Kind of like a junk shop, but you get virtual points (can be converted into money) and can also be found anywhere.

Ex: if it was something like a bin, it can be put anywhere. Something like a vending machine, but instead of money, you put in recyclable materials.

A mobile app, or card will store points.
