In some embodiments, the ionization chamber 106 contains a plurality of point ionizers that produce bi-polar ions when a voltage is applied. The produced ionization between the plurality of point ionizers captures the particle matter of polluted air and fuses them together. Fusion is the physical cohesion of particles which causes them to gain weight and lose energy.

At step 1104, the polluted air is passed into the ionization chamber 106 and the suspended particles in the polluted air is clumped together using the dual charge ionization. In some embodiment, when a voltage is applied, the plurality of point ionizers 402A-N captures particulate matter from the polluted air using the positively and negatively charged ions and fuses the positively and negatively charged particles together to form clumped particles. At step 1106, the fused particles are collected in the collection unit 110 to separate purified air and dust. At step 1108, the purified air is forced into the atmosphere using the output unit 108. At step 1110, the dust and the clumped particles are removed from the collection unit 110 periodically. In some embodiments, while the air passes through the ionization chamber, its particles get positively and negatively charged. These charged particles fuse by forces of attraction leading to their accumulation. Then clean air is passed out of the system.

[0066] FIGS. 12, 13A, 13B, 14 and 15 illustrate possible embodiments of an air quality and environmental monitoring system that communicates with air cleaning systems and is enclosed in a protection made up of hydrophobic materials. The hydrophobic material includes but is not limited to nylon. The air quality and monitoring system receives power from a power module including of DC power supply 120, Lithium Ion Battery 128 and charge controller. The DC power supply 120 in this system operates at a voltage of at least 3.3 Volts and the Lithium Ion battery operates at a voltage of at least 0.5 Volts. The sensor array in the system includes gas sensors 125A-D, Particulate Matter (PM) sensors 122, ambient noise sensors 127 and temperature and humidity sensors 126. The gas sensors 125A-D measure the level of Oxides of Nitrogen, Oxides of Sulphur, Oxides of Carbon and Ozone. The PM sensors 112 measure particle size typically in the range of 1.0, 2.5 and 10 micrometers. The Ambient Noise Sensor 127 consists of a piezoelectric microphone which is connected to an operational amplifier. This operational amplifier is connected to an onboard Micro Controller Unit (MCU) which sends out amplitude, frequency, and envelope data to the main microcontroller where this information is processed and presented in the units of Decibels. The Temperature and Humidity sensor 126 includes of separate units of Temperature sensor and Humidity sensor 126. Temperature sensor consists of a thermistor (Temperature varying resistor) which sends an analog signal input to the onboard MCU on the sensor. The humidity sensor also sends analog values to the same MCU onboard the sensor platform such that the analog values change based on the change in conductivity and temperature of the air around it (However, both could be digital sensors instead of analog). The onboard MCU then sends this data to the main system microcontroller as digital values. The Gas sensors 125A-D, PM sensors 122, ambient noise sensors 127 and temperature and humidity sensors 126 communicate information to the micro-controller using analog/digital or transmitter/receiver system. The arrangement of these sensors are examples of the possible embodiments and should not be used to either scale or to misinterpret them for their absolute spatial locations. The micro-controller 124 is an integral part of the air quality and environmental monitoring system and is used for computation and communication purposes. Depending on the extent of capabilities, it includes of a variable number of quantizers, sampler and General-Purpose Input Output (GPIO) pins. Most information from sensors are sent to a microcontroller in the form of time varying electrical signals. Since a continuous signal can be broken into infinite instantaneous values, it would require fundamentally infinite memory on the processor, to interpret this information. Hence in order to be able to compute real time signals, these continuous signals are converted to discrete signals using a SAMPLER. The sampler selects one value out of every ‘n’ values in a signal, to represent those ‘n’ values. Once many such single values are computed, the Quantizer reconstructs a new discrete time signal from these sampled values. Hence the quantizer maps a continuous input signal to a reconstructed sampled digital signal. General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) pins are input/output connections on the microcontroller that help sensors, memory storage devices, other peripherals, to interface with the different systems e microcontroller. The network module 129 includes of a wired or wireless module which is capable of both local and wide-area communications by use of one or more of the following components namely SIM card, Wi-fi, Infrared, Bluetooth or any other wave-based communication system.

[0067] Actuators on Outlet or inlet of the air purification system 100 are used to regulate the opening and closing of the outlet unit 108 and the inlet unit 102 of the system 100. API stands for Application Programming Interface which is a communication protocol between the client (device) and the server (third party server storing weather prediction information) designed to make the software development process for the client (device'easier through the availability of direct Request commands where our devices can call functions on the host server, in order to request real time weather information. Cloud is a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data.

[0068] The location module is a part of the theft protection system. It monitors the current location of the system and communicates with the microcontroller 124 via a digital or analog receiver or transmitter system. The digital or analog receiver or transmitter system is a communication system which can send and receive data through wired or wireless methods, using digital or analog signals that are passed through cables/wires or emitted/received through wireless modules and antennas.

[0069] The information flow in the air quality and environmental monitoring system is achieved by mutual coordination of its components. The gas sensors 125A-D, PM sensors 122, noise sensors 127 and temperature and humidity sensors 126 send analog/digital signals to the micro-controller 124. The microcontroller also receives input form the DC power supply 120 and the battery management system to communicate with the network module 129. The battery management system receives information from the battery 128 and the charge controller.
