The present invention relates to an atmospheric environment-improving drone having life-saving and advertising functions, and more particularly, to an atmospheric environment-improving drone having life-saving and advertising functions in which the drone configured to be moved while hovering in the air is used to spray water from the air, so that the water is sprayed in a wider area compared to ground-based water spray devices, thereby having the effect of improving the purification efficiency for contaminants or fine dust in the air, and moreover, having an advertising function and also achieving an advertising effect.
In general, scattering dust refers to dust directly exhausted into the atmosphere without going through a predetermined exhaust port at working sites or constructing sites and is called fugitive dust.
The scattering dust generated in the above manner is solid fine particles with a diameter of 0.1 μm to several tens of μm, which is formed by crushing solid materials such as soil, sand, rocks, metals, and plants among particulate matter, and may enter the human body through breathing while floating in the air and be attached to the bronchi and lungs.
In addition, some of the particles may be removed by coughing, sneezing, and ciliary movement, but some may be easily deposited and accumulated in the alveoli or the like. Thus, it is likely to cause greater adverse effects on human health than other air pollutants.
Especially when a person breathes, it is said that fine particles with a diameter of 10 μm or less reach the lungs through the respiratory tract and deposited. Based on this, the scattering dust tends to be added to items for the atmospheric environment standard.
Since the generated amount of dust is increasing as the industries develop and the nature is damaged, the efficient treatment is required from an environmental point of view.
In the related art, water is sprinkled using a sprinkling vehicle or using a sprinkler to remove fine dust or scattering dust from the atmosphere so as to improve the polluted air environment such as fine dust.
However, since the above water sprinkling equipment sprinkles water in the form of a thick water stream such as a general fire hydrant or in the form of a sprinkler, the spraying efficiency is lowered due to the narrow spraying range of water, and the spraying is limited only to the atmosphere close to the ground.
