Abu Dhabi has launched its first smog-free tower in partnership with Modon Properties. The seven-meter tower uses environmental friendly positive ionization technology to purify the surrounding air and clean 30,000 cubic meters of air per hour. This technology produces smog-free air in public spaces, allowing people to breathe and experience clean air.
Inaugurated at Hudayriat Island, the initiative is an urban innovation designed to enhance air quality in the area and provide an inspirational experience of a clean and green future. The Smog-Free Tower project is part of the MoU signed between EAD and Modon to implement environmental initiatives to reduce air pollution and protect wildlife, marine life and natural resources. The Smog-Free Tower, previously introduced in selected countries like China, Netherlands, and Poland, is now making its debut in UAE
The initiative is a significant step towards achieving Abu Dhabi’s Climate Neutrality Strategic Initiative goals. Vice Chairman and Chairman of EAD’s Executive Committee, said that EAD continuously monitors the state of ambient air quality in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi through a vast network of monitoring stations, which is considered one of the most comprehensive ambient air quality monitoring networks in the Middle East and North Africa region.
He added that they will also explore the possibilities of introducing smog-free towers across other areas in Abu Dhabi in the future, which will be evaluated before continuing to install more towers in other areas of the Emirate. Moreover, EAD’s Secretary-General, said that they chose Hudayriat Island because it is a community hub where people enjoy several outdoor activities. Therefore, the tower will allow people with sensitivities to access outdoor areas without worrying about dust, encouraging them to spend more time outside.
