Pollution has become one of the most debated and concerned topics of all time by global citizens. Air and water pollution are the most significant. There are also many more types of pollution like soil contamination, noise pollution, light pollution, etc. Air pollution is the largest cause of pollution death, responsible for about 6.5 million deaths according to a recent study. It refers to the contamination of the atmosphere by harmful chemicals or biological materials. Air quality is disturbed by the interaction between natural and anthropogenic environmental conditions. People exposed to poor-quality air result in major health issues. These all reflect the urge for innovations and advancements that can make the best use of science and technology. To handle the increasingly serious air pollution issue, the concept of an atmospheric air purification tower already has been proposed. The prototype of such a novel system had been built in Xian, China. A 60-meter-high chimney stands in a sea of highrise buildings. Our project topic is inspired by China’s air purification tower. Air pollution contributes to the premature deaths of 2 million Indians every year.

OBJECTIVES The main objectives of the project are: 1.
To collect the information of air quality index of Vyttila
PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
2.
Outdoor air pollution issues are not commonly considered compared to indoor air pollution, nevertheless, the AQI in our city has been compromised lately. The prominent Air pollutant in Vytila is PM2.5 which is harmful to our immune system. Due to these reasons, an air purification tower will be the best solution that can be implemented.
3.
To prepare a mini prototype model and check its efficiency To design a 3D model of Vyttila’s traffic watch tower with air purification tower using Revit Architecture To design Vyttila’s traffic watch tower including an air purification tower using STAAD Pro.
4.
SCOPE Air pollution has been a major concern throughout recent years and has proved to be fatal. The major air pollutants are from industries, dense traffics, etc. Some of the most common and dangerous pollutants are CO, CO2, NO, NO2, PM, ground-level ozone, etc. It is of immense importance to control and take measures for the safety of our future. So many methods are used to reduce air pollution all over the world. But most of the methods are for indoor air
