TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the effectiveness of a new technology called Counterfog® to eliminate airborne particles with diameter under 10μm in air and showed that it is able to wash out PM10, PM5, and PM2.5 Diesel-generated airborne particles quite efficiently.
Abstract: The existence of particles with diameter under 10 μm in air is strongly correlated with respiratory diseases. These particles are profusely produced by heating systems, traffic, and Diesel engines creating a serious problem to modern cities. Natural mechanisms removing particles from the atmosphere are too slow to deal with the huge amount of particles daily released by human activity. The objective of this work is to measure the effectiveness of a new technology called Counterfog® to eliminate airborne particles. The results show that Counterfog® is able to wash out PM10, PM5, and PM2.5 Diesel-generated airborne particles quite efficiently.
