Air-Purifying Totems Trial At Birmingham New Street Station

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Railway Gazette.

These two paragraphs outline the trial.

The use of air-purifying totems to reduce the impact of diesel train exhaust fumes on air quality is to be tested at Birmingham New Street station.

The Pluvo Column devices take in air at the bottom of the totem and pass it through a series of filters before releasing it at head height.

Note.

1. This is the Pluvo web site.
2. The company has an impressive list of backers including Innovate UK and Land Securities.
3. Land Securities Group plc is the largest commercial property development and investment company in the United Kingdom.
4. From my experience of Birmingham New Street station, the station could be an interesting application of the technology.

I believe this technology can be developed for a large number of applications.
