Currently, the climate is undergoing unusual changes. This climate change has caused humanity to face increasing difficulties in daily life. Environmental pollution continues to intensify through deforestation, fuel emissions, vehicles, and industrial factories, which generate a growing amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. For this reason, we have initiated the idea of developing a network system to capture carbon dioxide and urban smog in order to improve air quality and provide cleaner air in cities for better public health.

The characteristics of the carbon dioxide and smog capture network respond to the fundamental need for a natural atmospheric environment that every person deserves. However, under current conditions, the air is not as clean and healthy as people would wish it to be. The following are the key features:

  1. It reduces carbon dioxide, dust, and polluted smoke in the urban atmosphere to a certain extent.
  2. It helps improve respiratory health for urban residents.
  3. It generates cleaner air within the city, similar to a natural environment.
  4. It creates digital green spaces that enhance the aesthetic quality of the urban landscape.
  5. It contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:
  • SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being
  • SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
  • SDG 13: Climate Action
