India's own 'smog tower' may help combat air pollution
As the city grapples with dangerous levels of air pollution, a Delhi-based start-up has designed a 40-feet-tall purifier which it claims could provide clean air to 75,000 people living in the three-kilometre radius around it. Kurin Systems has recently got the patent for the "world's largest as well as the strongest air purifier" published by the World Intellectual Property Organization, its co-founder Pavneet Singh Puri said. "The purifier will be different from China's Smog Tower in the sense that it won't depend on the ionisation technique to clean the air," he added. "We have been pitching the idea of city-level air cleaning to central as well as the state governments hoping to make a headway soon," said Madhur Mehta, Co-Founder of Kurin Systems.
