Solar Powered Outdoor Air Purifier with Air Quality Monitoring

Sanobar Sayed

Abstract


The Internet has a major challenge with air pollution. Numerous major health issues might be brought on by this dirty air. An air purifier serves as a life-saving aid for people who have breathing issues like asthma or sinusitis or who have lung disorders of any kind. An air purifier lessens the likelihood of health problems brought on by indoor pollution, which might directly cause neurological disorders, respiratory infections, or asthmatic symptoms. As a result, a low cost air purifier powered by solar energy was created utilising a HEPA filter, an activated carbon filter, a solar panel, and a few other random parts. This device can serve as a cheap but effective alternative for surviving in such trying times. To generate clean, filtered air, this air purifier goes through a number of phases, such as removing large dirt particles on the first pre-filter and then capturing dust and smoke molecules at the HEPA-filter. According to the research and findings, the air purifier can run on solar power for up to 14 hours each day and produce 96 % clean air.
