Kazakh developer creates innovative air purification technology

An Almaty resident has developed an innovative air purification technology that has already attracted the attention of foreign scientists. Kazakh developer Altay Ainabek notes that warm atmospheric masses, known as an inversion layer, hover over Almaty, trapping smog in the city. The device is designed to combat this layer and generate a powerful horizontal airflow that pushes harmful substances upward. The inventor has installed and tested five such stations across the city. However, at least three years of research will be needed to demonstrate the technology's effectiveness.

«We connect the installations and immediately observe a reduction in pollutants within an hour. During this time, all levels were at the lower end of the maximum allowable concentration (MAC) scale,» Ainabek said.
