According to the company’s official website, the technology works by installing a series of partially submerged pods in the centre of a road that is a known hot spot of air pollution.
The air that then leaves the cleaning unit is cleaned by 99%, removing particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and ozone.
According to Thomas Delgado, CEO of Pollution Solution, the pollution pods look a bit like cats’ eyes in the road and can be used as line-markings.
