IOT (Internet of Things) base Direct Air Carbon

Project Summary: Dhaka, a city of 23.2 million people, is one of the top five most polluted cities in the world. It suffers from severe air pollution, a lack of trees, and excessive carbon dioxide emissions, which are causing the city to heat up. This pollution is affecting the lower-income people the most. Since there is not enough space left in the city to plant new trees, the Internet of Things(IOT)-based Direct Air Carbon Capturing and Air Purifier will be a way to overcome this problem. One machine will purify the air equivalent to about 1,000 trees and, in addition to absorbing carbon dioxide, will also show the amount of greenhouse gases in the air.

Project Area: - Around Dhaka City.

Project Period: 3 years. (From July,2025 to June 2028)

Targeted Stakeholders: Detailing the primary, secondary and tertiary-

Primary Stakeholders (Directly impacted or involved):

• Low-income communities in Dhaka – most affected by air pollution.
• Children and elderly – vulnerable to health issues.
• City authorities (DNCC/DSCC) – for implementation in public areas.
• Healthcare sector – reduced pollution-related illnesses.
• Project objective: To reduce air pollution in Dhaka City by deploying Internet of Things(IOT)based Direct Air Carbon Capturing and Air Purifier systems that can absorb carbon dioxide and other toxic gases, equivalent to the air-purifying capacity of 1,000 trees per unit. The system aims to lower CO levels from 480–500 ppm to 250 ppm, improve public health—especially for vulnerable populations and support the production of eco-friendly materials like Eco bricks and Eco- feed from captured carbon.

Project Outcome: The implementation of the Internet of Things(IOT)based Direct Air Carbon Capturing and Air Purifier System will result in significant environmental, health, and socio-economic benefits for Dhaka city:

Improved Air Quality:
Each unit will purify approximately 709,560 kiloliters of air over three years, removing both carbon dioxide and toxic heavy metal particles such as cadmium, lead, and arsenic from the environment.

v  Reduction in CO Levels:
The system will reduce atmospheric CO concentrations from dangerous levels of 480–500 ppm to a safer 250 ppm. Each unit will absorb 84,000 pounds of CO over 3 years.

v  Health Benefits:
Each machine will directly and indirectly protect 1,500–1,600 people from pollution-related health risks, including respiratory diseases and heavy metal toxicity, especially among vulnerable low-income communities and children.

v  Economic Impact:
By reducing air pollution, the system will help lower the average annual medical expense of 350–370 BDT per person, providing financial relief to economically disadvantaged populations.

v  Data-Driven Public Awareness:
Real-time display of harmful gas levels and air quality data will raise public awareness, encourage behavior change, and inform policy decisions.

v  Circular Economy Contribution:
Captured carbon dioxide will be converted into raw materials for eco-bricks and eco-feed, promoting sustainable production and environmental reuse.

1. Project Deliverables/Activities/interventions:

Deployment of IOT-Based Direct Air Carbon Capturing and Air Purifier Systems

n  Install air purification machines in high-risk urban areas such as roadsides, school zones, hospitals, residential areas, and industrial neighborhoods.

n  Each machine will:

n  Absorb 84,000 pounds of carbon dioxide over 3 years.

n  Purify approximately 709,560 kiloliters of air.

n  Remove heavy metal particles such as cadmium, lead, and arsenic from the air.

n  Reduce CO levels from 480–500 ppm to as low as 250 ppm.

Health and Community Impact

• Protect 1,500–1,600 people per machine, both directly and indirectly, by improving air quality and reducing exposure to toxic pollutants.
• Reduce the economic burden of healthcare related to air pollution, especially for low-income communities (saving an estimated BDT 350–370 per person annually).

Environmental and Economic Circular Benefits.

v  Use the captured carbon dioxide to produce:

v  Eco-bricks for sustainable construction.

v  Eco-feed as a byproduct, supporting green industry and recycling.

     Strategic Site Analysis and Installation Planning

l  Identify high-pollution zones based on data and studies (e.g., areas with high levels of cadmium, zinc, and lead).

l  Prioritize installations in areas lacking greenery or with vulnerable populations (e.g., schools, slums, hospitals).

Conclusion and appeal:
Till the reporting period we received very small donation which is very negligible amount in terms of demands andbudget To make a difference 100% of your donation goes to the project. We are also looking for new sponsor, individul who can help us with either fundraising or by sharing our initiative to friends or peoples who are supportive for the project. GlobalGiving is trying to continues supporting us to raising funds and connecting multi stakeholders for its overall development.
This project would not have been possible to reap expected outcome as setouts in the project budgets without the kind support and help of donors, friends and any individuals. To support the project fund raising is continued and we hope that all the people who have willingly would like to extend their support to the project is highly appreciated. Their generosity will make a huge difference in the lives of many peopls.
