5 Future Pollution-Ending Technologies

Pollution of one of the emerging issues today. It causes a lot of damage on our environment and causes human lots of health issues .It is one of the reasons why very many researchers are having sleepless nights trying to come up with a way of coping with pollution if not eliminating it all together.

We are going to look at five pollution-ending technologies that have been discovered by researchers and are said to be an efficient way of dealing with pollution today and in the future.

Dealing with water pollution

· Generally, there is scarcity of water and this can be associated with lack of rain.

· Where water is available, it is contaminated and hence not safe for consumption.

· Maybe be contaminated by number of things, one of them being industries channeling their untreated waste into rivers.

· Consumption of such water brings about fatal diseases like cholera.

· The good news however, is that nanotechnology is promising when it comes to purifying water.

· It deals with matter at an atomic level.

· MarelizeBotes is a company in South Africa that has developed a water filter resembling a teabag.

· This bag is filled with carbon granules that are active.

· The bag is made from nano-fibers that have been treated with biocide, which kills bacteria.

· It is a cheap method of purifying water and many people have taken up this idea.

What about air pollution?

· In those very heavily polluted areas, a new filtration system is being installed.

· The filtration system is called the super tree.

· It mimics a real tree whereby it takes in carbon dioxide and giving off Oxygen.

· This system cleans the air by taking in carbon dioxide as well as some bacteria and through a water filtration system.

· The super tree is very effective as compared to normal trees when it comes to purifying the air.

· Land pollution solution

· A lot of solid waste is dumped on land.

· These waste can break down and eventually contaminate the soil, seep in and contaminate our ground water as well.

· Luckily, our researchers have discovered a bacterium, which eats plastic foam.

· It also converts these plastics into a form that is useable.

· There is also the issue of electronic waste.

· This is being dealt with by having gadgets like phones made from recycled material.

· Discoveries on coping with light pollution

· Light pollution can damage our eyes.

· With too much unnecessary light one can barely get some good night sleep.

· Widespread of smart lights could be the needed solution here.

· Smart lights like BetaLED lights.

· They are being used in car parking lots.

· They have a switch bi-level switch which moves between low and high light.

· These is not only a way to solve light pollution, saves energy as well.

Finally sound pollution

· A leaf blower, which is used by a number of people in neighborhoods to sweep their sidewalks, is one of things that contribute to noise pollution.

· As a way of dealing with noise pollution, use of this equipment has been banned.

Phone systems are a perfect way in which people can connect and share information with each other. In this case am having in mind researchers sharing findings and facts with each other. Sharing their ideas on pollution and how it can be dealt with in future. This way we will have moved a step ahead in trying to come up with a solution to pollution.
