Technologies developed to reduce air pollution include green energy technologies such as wind and solar power, biomass energy, electric vehicles and low-sulfur fuel oils; catalytic converters and pollution control systems for vehicles; smokestack scrubbers to remove gases and particles from industrial exhausts; smart growth measures to reduce urban sprawl; better insulation, windows, doors etc. to reduce the flow of pollutants indoors; noise barriers along highways to direct sound away from communities; particulate filters on surgical masks worn by healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

What technologies have been developed to reduce air pollution?
user
Technologies developed to reduce air pollution include scrubbers, emissions control devices that are installed on smokestacks and tailpipes to capture particles and gases, fuel switchers that can modify the type of fuel being used depending on the level of pollutants present in the atmosphere, wind turbines to generate renewable energy from winds instead of burning fossil fuels and electrostatic precipitators to reduce concentrations of dangerous particles released into the air. In addition, more efficient vehicles and better insulation for homes are examples of technologies used for reducing air pollution.
