The T shaped device captures the CO2 containing heavy substances from the fumes via an affinity based chemical assay that binds CO2 particles. The purified fumes are expelled via the other branch of the T shaped structure.

Possible sources of the toxins include a contaminated fish supply, fumes from garbage incinerators, and factory wastewater.

The prototype is to be installed at the base of the chimney of factories expelling the fumes.

I had to wear a gas mask because of the toxic fumes I guess, except for in this picture.

And sometimes they'll resort to what's known as the burn and sniff technique where they'll burn the plastic and smell the fumes to try to determine the type of plastic.

The next young inventor seeking to help the environment just might come from Niger. Meet Abdou Barmini, 22, who invented an anti pollution device that cleans the air from industrial fumes.

Almost three billion people still burn dung, twigs, and other traditional fuels indoors to cook and keep warm, generating noxious fumes that kill an estimated two million people each year, mostly women and children.

The heavy particles found in the fumes are composed of more than carbon dioxide there are others particles that his invention will have to fix, in order to achieve a purification rate closer to 100 .

Fumes from indoor cooking fires kill more than 2 million children a year in the developing world. MIT engineer Amy Smith details an exciting but simple solution a tool for turning farm waste into clean burning charcoal.

Rolf Bolin, who was a professor at the Hopkin's Marine Station where I work, wrote in the 1940s that The fumes from the scum floating on the inlets of the bay were so bad they turned lead based paints black.

Four trucks were to carry the six devices in metal tanks between four and five cubic metres in size.e The devices were designed to produce multiple effects besides the initial explosion, including burns and poisoning from a toxic cloud and lesser poisonous fumes.
