s is not the first time UTEC engineers have devised an inventive way to turn a standard advertising platform into an environmental instrument. In December 2012, the university installed an impressive water purifying billboard that converted air moisture into 9,450 litres of potable water within the first three months. It only cost $1,200 to develop and was equipped with a pipe and faucet to facilitate easy distribution of fresh water to city residents at the base of the structure.
UTEC’s new air-purifying billboard may prove to be a highly replicable model to tackle air pollution in urban centres. By leveraging an advertising platform, UTEC has created incentive for private companies to invest in the billboard technology. They have also provided a tangible and marketable way for companies and construction sites to take responsibility for their role in producing pollutants.
