Case Study: Localized Outdoor Air Purification at Rambagh Circle, Jaipur

Background
Jaipur is a rapidly growing urban center with increasing vehicular density, particularly at major traffic junctions where commuters, pedestrians, and nearby vendors experience prolonged exposure to particulate air pollution. These locations often record higher pollution concentrations due to idling vehicles, congestion, and limited air dispersion.

While city-wide measures such as urban greening, emission norms, and mobility reforms play a critical role in long-term air-quality improvement, there remains a need for immediate, on-ground interventions that can reduce exposure at identified pollution hotspots.

Rambagh Circle, one of Jaipur’s busiest intersections, was selected as a pilot location to deploy a localized outdoor air-purification system aimed at reducing particulate matter concentration in high-exposure public spaces.

Challenge
The project addressed several practical and operational challenges:

High and continuous particulate pollution caused by dense traffic flow

Prolonged human presence in close proximity to emission sources

Limited physical space for large infrastructure modifications or extensive green buffers

Need for a solution capable of operating outdoors, continuously, and reliably

Requirement for low maintenance and minimal operational disruption

The objective was not to purify a large geographic area, but to lower particulate exposure at the breathing level in a real-world urban environment.

Solution
StaticAir deployed its PAMARES (Particulate Matter Reduction System) at Rambagh Circle as a targeted outdoor air-quality intervention.

The system is designed specifically for high-traffic urban hotspots and operates using electrostatic technology to capture airborne particulate matter without the use of conventional filters.

Key features of the PAMARES system include:

Capture of particulate matter ranging from PM0.1 to
