Highlights:
♦ Smoke tower is a structure designed as a large/medium air purifier to reduce air pollution, usually by forcing air through a filter.
♦ The height of Anand Vihar’s smoke tower is more than 20m. It is a sinking type, that is, polluted air enters from the top of the tower and clean air flows out from the bottom of the tower.
♦ It is intended for localised reduction in air pollution (Particulate Matter). 
♦ The filtration device is used in the tower, which is designed by University of Minnesota with an expected 90% efficiency.
