High-Level Project Summary
The main goal of our project is to reduce environmental pollution by reducing air pollution. We will absorb industrial fumes through our devices and isolate and disable harmful substances. Our project will work in two phases.

Detailed Project Description
We know, the biggest problem in the world today is climate change. The amount of air pollution in the world is increasing every day. The main goal of our project is to protect the earth from air pollution. That is why our team is special. According to a report released by the World Bank, Bangladesh is one of the countries most affected by pollution and environmental risks. About 28% of the deaths in Bangladesh each year are due to environmental pollution. But the average mortality rate worldwide is 16%. According to a 2015 World Bank report, the level of pollution in urban areas has reached alarming levels. They say that 60,000 people died in different cities of Bangladesh in 2015 due to pollution. Jakarta, on the other hand, has a population of one million. And there are three times more people in the metropolitan area than there is capacity. Jakarta is one of the most polluted cities in the world. Fog is cited as one of the main causes of air pollution in the city. The financial loss due to traffic jams in the city is about 6.5 billion a year. Our team is very sincere about this project because it will work to prevent air pollution and environmental pollution. Air pollution is caused by the mixing of harmful substances in the air. Large amounts of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, metallic particles, fumes, etc. emitted from industrial plants pollute the air. Polluted air can cause allergies, coughs, asthma, bronchitis, high blood pressure, headaches, lung cancer and other serious diseases.
All in all, if air pollution continues to rise, the place becomes uninhabitable. Therefore, air pollution causes serious damage to human health. In addition, air pollution is having a detrimental effect on the environment, such as global warming and acid rain. These temperature rises and acid rain are having a detrimental effect on the biodiversity of the environment. So through our project we will deactivate all these harmful substances so that they do not mix in the atmosphere. We think this is a good opportunity for us. Because in the current era of industrialization, air pollution and environmental pollution is a matter of concern. The task of our project is to separate the harmful substances from the factory smoke. This work will be completed in two steps. In the first step we will filter the toxic carbon compounds from the smoke. In the second step, we will cool the filtered toxic gases from the factory through a copper tube, convert them into liquids and store them in a chamber. Next we will deactivate the toxic chemicals so that they do not mix with the atmosphere and harm the environment.
The United Nations has decided to celebrate World Environment Day since 1984 with the aim of protecting and sustaining the environment. The day is celebrated in more than 100 countries around the world. Our idea is that this project will help us in the future in the UN environmental protection activities. Maybe it won’t contribute much at the moment because this project is still in the early stages. In our opinion, if enough research is done on this project, it will be possible to prevent air pollution to a large extent. And if this project can do that, then we can make our world beautiful by preventing air pollution. Thank you.

Space Agency Data
The biggest problem of the present time is air pollution. We will work on industrial air pollution in our project. That is why we are collecting various information from online and doing research on them. From our research we are trying to invent a device that can filter out toxic gases from factories and inactivate them by separating harmful carbon compounds and chemicals.

Hackathon Journey
The experience has been enlightening so far. We learned to work efficiently as well as various things related to the project. Our team was able to solve most of the problems through brain storming, adequate research as well as hard work to get to our goals. I would like to thank my teammates and my mentor for always having my back and keeping the morale high which was necessary for the success of our project.
