PROJECT ZAP

By: parvathy jayan

 OVERVIEW
Air pollution or pollutants are something to which we
have a direct exposure on a daily basis.They are
constantly affecting our health and environment in an
adverse manner.
A 2013 study from MIT says traffic fumes alone cause
the death of 5000 people a year.
Motor vehicle emission includes carbon
monoxides&dioxides ,nox ,sox and particulate
matter(soot) which contributes to the excessive air
pollution in our cities.
.
Polonged exposure can cause serious health effect
like lung diseases,bronchitis, heart attacks and even
premature deaths.high concentration of pollutants
cause acid rain ,damages palnts and animals and
survival of many species.
 OBJECTIVE
With regard to the previously mentioned facts
PROJECT ZAP aims to design an economically
working model of zero air pollution automobile
engines.Since automobile engines are an
important contributers to atmospheric air
pollutants we aim to eliminate the
the pollutant content in flue gases by converting
and compressing them to form which is eco
friendly,user friendly and economical.
