The Problem For those in the United States living in urban cities, air pollution has been an ongoing problem. Smog, a form of air pollution, is a combination of fog and smoke, caused by - hot temperatures, - weather problems that trap smog over the city - heavy motor vehicle usages (fuels are burned)
The Problem Smog negatively affects people’s health, especially young children and those who suffer from asthma. ● Leads to throat and chest irritation Makes people vulnerable to allergy and respiratory infections ● Stops the growth of plants and animals ●

Pollution and Smog Statistics
Our Solution: Air Filter Drones NASA B. 4. 1. 2. Altair - (inspiration/base) Government style UAVs are capable of withstanding the conditions of the Troposphere and are what we are modeling our filter drones after. The Altair is a perfect example because of Its performance and endurance. It can reach a maximum of 52,000 ft and can sustain flight for up to 32 hours. This UAV is equipped with sensors, radar, communication and imaging equipment. https://www.nasa.gov/centers/armstrong/news/FactSheets/FS-073-DFRC.html
Air Filter Drone- Clensair’s AFD-M1 To be an effective air filter drone, the power running each drone will be electrical, and each drone will be outfitted with a back up battery. The AFD-M1 will have CO2 sensors and their location will be tracked by an air traffic control officer. The filters are attached beneath the three main rotors and the nose. They function by creating a vacuum and separating the pollutants from the air, collecting them in a waste storage tank. Each Drone is also equipped with a 400 watt solar panel, to conserve on the energy needed for operation.
Employees (Three Main Divisions) Robotics - Develop, analyze, and test latest drone models. - Conduct research on other advancements to see if they could improve the capability of our drones. - Qualifications: At least a masters in one of the stated engineering fields, a minimum of 2 years of experience, and cooperative skills.
Employees Sanitation - Conduct daily drone and facility cleanings and inspections. - Collect waste gathered by drones and ships it to nearest waste-to-energy plant. - Qualifications: Knowledge on the basics of cleaning, a driver’s license, and adaptability of scheduling.
Employees Surveillance - Control and monitor the state of each drone while in flight. - Check in with the state’s meteorologist and air traffic controllers before each flight - Qualifications: Passing the company’s drone flight test, the capability of focusing for extended periods of time, and the ability to multitask.
Cost Salaries and wages Cost/Salary Sanitation personnel(20) $600,000 ($30,000 each) Surveillance personnel (15) $450,000 ($30,000 each) Robotics personnel (15) $975,000 ($65,000 each) Total personnel $2,025,000 Equipment Drones (15) $180,000 ($12,000 each) Materials and supplies $95,000 Solar panels(15) $7,500($500 each) $282,500 Total equipment cost Total direct cost ($2,025,000 + $282,500) = $2,307,500
Work Schedule
Benefits / Conclusion The long term goal is to get these urban cities to reach ATS (American Thoracic Society) standards, and to improve the way of life for everyone who has been affected by smog. We can clean the skies but it will be for naught if we don’t all do our part ● Reducing the amount of pollutants in the skies. Making the environment safer for those with respiratory conditions. ● The reduction in smog will improve the surrounding Ecosystem. ● ● Creating jobs and analyzing the data from our efforts. ● Medical expenses would decrease, and the money could be invested in more green initiatives.
