Abstract

Urban air pollution has become one of the most significant environmental and public health problems in rapidly growing cities. Particulate matter such as PM2.5 and PM10 significantly affects respiratory health and contributes to environmental degradation. Traditional air purification technologies are mainly designed for indoor applications and are not suitable for large-scale outdoor urban environments.

This study proposes the conceptual design and efficiency analysis of a modular urban air purification tower inspired by traditional Uzbek architectural elements. The system integrates multi-stage filtration processes including water-based pre-filtration, mechanical particle filters, and activated carbon adsorption technology. In addition, the structure incorporates solar photovoltaic panels to ensure sustainable energy supply.

The airflow capacity, filtration efficiency, and energy consumption of the proposed system were analyzed using theoretical calculations. Results indicate that a purification tower with a height of 6–9 meters can process approximately 12,000–13,000 cubic meters of air per hour. The modular structure allows flexible installation in urban environments such as parks, road intersections, and industrial areas.

The proposed design demonstrates the feasibility of combining environmental engineering with culturally inspired architecture to improve urban air quality while maintaining aesthetic harmony with the surrounding environment.
