Pollution caused by particulate matter is harmful to environment and human health.
 
The heaviest fraction of particulate matter contributes to environmental pollution by being carried by the water runoff to the rivers & sea. Airborne particulate matter contributes to air pollution by causing health problems. International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified PM2.5 as level 1 carcinogens for humans.
 
Average fine particles concentration (PM2.5) in underground stations is 5x higher than World Health Organization daily exposure limit. In these confined environments, high concentration is especially harmful to human health.
 
In most underground rail networks, brake dust represents 50% of the air pollution in stations. Majority of brake wear is transformed into airborne particles while the remaining fraction is deposited either on the train or on the rail.
 
Today, no technically efficient solution is deployed. This is why Tallano Technologies developed a breakthrough innovation to capture particulate matter emitted by vehicles’ braking, called TAMIC® system.
 
How does it work? TAMIC® is a suction system, that will capture brake dust within the calliper and retain it a filter before its dispersion in the air.
 
With 49 patents registered, Tallano Technologies currently holds one of the world’s largest patent portfolios in the field.
