The Karnataka Pollution Control Board has deployed artificial “air purifier trees” in heavily industrialized zones of Peenya and Bommasandra in Bengaluru. Each 20-foot unit uses a combination of activated carbon filters, electrostatic precipitators, and live plants to clean ambient air. The device can purify up to 3 lakh cubic meters daily and reduces PM2.5 and PM10 levels by 40–50% within a 100-meter radius. Solar panels power the system, and data is sent to a central dashboard. Residents and workers have reported improved air quality and reduced respiratory discomfort. The pilot has received praise from industrial associations who see it as an eco-friendly alternative to regulatory crackdowns. The government plans to install 100 more such units across pollution hotspots if results continue to show measurable impact.
