AB  - Particulate matter (PM) constitutes a significant risk factor for environmental health regarding ambient air quality. An epidemiological investigation has determined that inadequate air quality is associated with the development of lung and cardiovascular diseases, chronic ailments, respiratory infections, and a significant number of fatalities on a global scale. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the annual mortality rate due to air pollution is around 7 million individuals. The necessity for researching air quality, climate change, and the challenges posed by particulate matter (PM) is widely recognized. While reducing ambient air quality, it is essential to consider the limitations of current technical control methods. This article focuses on developing and implementing advanced technology to mitigate particle pollution in urban environments. The comparison of empirical data and computational simulations has demonstrated the efficacy of utilizing pulsed radio waves to reduce particulate matter. The control technique exhibits a threefold increase in the rate of PM concentration reduction compared to gravity settling. The approach's efficacy was evaluated through controlled trials conducted in controlled chambers and urban environments, demonstrating up to 50% reductions. The validation of the implemented test case results of the control technology was performed using historical data while considering the existence of radio waves. The coagulation process demonstrated and verified the effectiveness of reducing particle matter. The employed methodology has been shown to encourage outcomes concerning mitigating particulate matter contamination within urban and industrial environments.
