The ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡ Faculty of Science and Technology and MANN+HUMMEL JAPAN LTD. (M+H), together with the Yokohama Industrial Development Corporation (IDEC Yokohama), have launched an initiative aiming for "the subway with the world's cleanest air." As an industry-academia collaboration project selected as a designated research project by the ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡ Leading-edge Laboratory of Science and Technology (KLL), the project aims to develop an unprecedented new technology to remove dust generated from subway cars, brakes, and other sources by combining ÎçÒ¹¾ç³¡'s unique knowledge of particle charging with M+H's latest filtration technology. The first phase of the project will involve analyzing the behavior of particulate matter, including PM 2.5 , in subway station premises, which are a vital transportation infrastructure in Japan's urban areas and have a significant impact on people's living environments. The first field survey will be conducted in the middle of this month.
