Following the successful test of the first Pluvo Column, additional ones would be installed at airports and railway stations, running on renewable energy sources and purifying the city air through a three-stage filter system.
As a result of the pandemic, the development of urban purifying devices has seen a worldwide surge, resulting in such inventions as the Urban Sun anti-viral public lighting project, the portable air purifier, or the air-sanitizing bus-stop. A less conspicuous element of the cityscape, the ad column developed in a joint effort by Pulvo and Kinetic blends into the urban space and filters out 99% of the air’s harmful substances.
The device was put to test during a six-month-long period in Finchley, north London: the test has proved the three-stage purifying system to be most effective in the busiest areas, cleaning 1 cubic meter of air every second.
