Applications
Anti Smog Gun have been successfully used in the material-handling industry for more than 30 years to control explosive dust at transfer points. Today, Anti Smog Gun are proven to be an Best Technology for fugitive and respirable dust control. It adds only minimal water to avoid material degradation. With the small droplets size and the fog's effective dispersal pattern, moisture addition is approximately 0.1% by weight of material conveyed.
For agglomeration of dust particles to occur at the dust source point, two conditions must be met:
- Enough water droplets of the same size as the dust particles must be present at the same rate as the dust particles. Both dust and water droplets must be constrained in the same area so that agglomeration can occur.
- If the water droplet's size is too large, the dust particle will follow the air stream line and miss the water droplet.
What are sources of air pollution and its consequences?
Understanding the major sources of pollution helps industries choose the right dust suppression solution.
Cement Plant
Cement industry is one of the 17 most polluting industries listed by the central pollution control board. It is the major source of particulate matter, SOx, NOx and CO2 emissions. Cement dust contains heavy metals like chromium, nickel, cobalt, lead and mercury pollutants hazardous to the biotic environment with impact for human health.

Coal Mining
Coal mining consumption is about 5.5% of the world and the share of coal as energy went up to 66%. The increasing trend of opencast coal mining lead to release of dust and gaseous pollutants which are the sources of air pollution along with dust particles.

Construction
The main construction contaminants that spread around by wind include PM10, PAHs bound to particulate matter, VOCs, asbestos, gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides which reveal existing subsurface pollution in the environment.

Demolition
During structural demolition, local concentrations of PM10 42 m downwind of a demolition site increased 4- to 9-fold above upwind concentrations (6-hr averaging time).

Power Plant
Coal is second only to automobiles in the production of NOx. Nitric oxide catalyzes the production of ground level ozone in the presence of sunlight and organic compounds. Smog is a threat to the health of humans and reduces agricultural productivity.

The world of big and large cities seems glamorous from outside but however the sight you have within might be so hazy and obscure that you can’t even see the horizon. This might be because of the smoke or the fog which is nonetheless called as SMOG.
Smog is a type of air pollution which is caused by the tiny particles present in the air. The word smog derives from the mixture of smoke and fog. Smog is formed by the particulate matter present in the atmosphere mainly ground level ozone and fine particles emitted through the fossil fuels from automobiles, factories and power plants. This yellowish or blackish fog can also be described as the mixture of various gases, dust and vapours available in the atmosphere. It not only creates the haze or reduces the visibility but also becomes the root cause for many of the bronchial and heart problems as it makes breathing difficult.

- Improves Air Quality
- Reduces Respiratory Risks
- Environment Friendly Solution
How Smog is Formed
Smog is formed when sunlight and its heat react with the gases and fine particles released into the atmosphere through burnt fuels. The complex photochemical reactions between the precursors like volatile organic compounds, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides release the ground level ozone and fine particles in the air.
These reactions create a dense layer of polluted air, reducing visibility and affecting both environmental and human health.
