Figure 1. Context Diagram for utilizing an air filter for vehicle exhaust

This study aims to develop an air filter for vehicle exhaust by the use of

Interception Machanism, Inertial Impaction Mechanism and Diffusion

Mechanism which will be composing of Apple Snail (Pomacea Canaliculata),

Coconut Husk (Cocus Nucifera) and Charcoal. Having the interception, inertial

impaction and diffusion mechanism, the filtration process of the air filter will be

efficient and the harmful particle from the vehicle exhaust will be diminished with

the help of the 3 main component. Under that mechanism, the particles would

touch the processed components and the unwanted particles will be removed from

the air streamline. By the use of these raw materials, the researchers were able to

manufacture a filter that can reduce particulate emissions for motor vehicles

specifically for jeepney because it is the most commonly used public vehicle in

the country. Its main purpose is to filtrate odor and gaseous pollutants like volatile

organic compound, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and other car pollutants that

can be harmful to the human health. By using the air filter, both human health and

environment can benefit when it comes to minimizing the effects of pollution and

may lower the risk of developing disease to human.
