The Development of Indoor Air Filters Using Textile Substrate
Indoor Air pollution control
Abstract
Air pollution creates major public health issues, it contaminates the indoor and outdoor environment by chemical, physical or biological agent and also modifies the natural characteristics of the atmosphere. Indoor air pollution poses significant health risks, and effective mitigation strategies are necessary to ensure a safe and healthy indoor environment. This research paper presents the development of an innovative indoor air filter using activated charcoal-coated fabric as a filtration medium. The objective of this study is to explore the effectiveness of the activated charcoal-coated fabric filter in removing airborne pollutants and improving indoor air quality. The filters are characterized by efficiency test, pressure drop, dust holding capacity, airflow capacity, and microbial efficiency, that is expected that the developed filter would be able to remove the pollutants and increase the pressure drop which may reduce the maintenance and replacement of the filter. Additionally, it will also be able to kill or remove certain microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses, it may contribute to the development of cost-effective and efficient indoor air filtration systems. The activated charcoal-coated fabric filter has the potential to be widely adopted in residential, commercial, and industrial settings, effectively reducing indoor air pollution, improving occupants' health and well-being.
