Air pollution poses a major threat to human health, with PM 2.5 particles being particularly worrisome due to their ability to penetrate deep into the respiratory system. This project explores the potential of Activated Carbon as a material to adsorb PM2.5 in urban areas. By combining Activated Carbon with bio-plastic, a new composite material has been created that is printable, malleable, and recyclable. Extensive research on material properties and fabrication techniques has resulted in an optimized approach that combines 3D printing and scraping. The project aims to develop a prototype breathing pod for the polluted London Underground Station, offering a solution to the urgent problem of air pollution and promoting sustainable urban environments.
