Abstract

In India air pollution is increasing day by day and due to which the ill effects of it can be seen on the entire ecosystem.Cardiovascular and respiratory disease and even mortality rate attributed to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) have risen over the past decades.To combat the problem, one of the strategy can be the usage of air purifying system/devices inside schools, offices and homes. The present paper aims to design and develop a device for purifying air using 3D printed patterned structures coated with activated carbon. The surface functionalized structures werefabricated using fused filament fabricationtechnique for adsorption of dust particles and toxins.The system consists of three stage air filtration including high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter and surface functionalized printed structures.
