Pollution and air cleaning device

Abstract

A mobile air cleaning device for reducing air pollution emissions from a source by cleaning contaminated air is provided. The air cleaning device includes a tank to hold liquid, an extendable pipe to extend relative to the tank, an air filter to transmit air to the tank, a screen to filter pollution from the source, a pump to circulate liquid in the tank, and a liquid filter to filter pollution from the tank. The extendable pipe includes a fan to draw contaminated air through the extendable pipe to the tank where pollution emissions are captured in the liquid and clean air escapes though an air hole in the tank. A drone may deploy the air cleaning device to an elevation of the air pollution emissions. Advantageously, the air cleaning device militates against air pollution by cleaning contaminated air in a mobile and compact manner capable of reaching various elevations.
