Netherlands-based Static Air manufactures particulate matter reduction systems that attract PM2.5 – PM10 and pull it from the air. Schools, playgrounds, and other spaces where vulnerable populations congregate can be fitting locations to install these devices and potentially improve air quality as a supplement to planting trees and reducing emissions sources.
Static Air will provide three pole-mounted Pamares units to install in NYC for six months. Real-time air quality monitoring devices will be installed to measure the efficacy of the Static Air devices through the change in local air quality.
