Acceptability and Effectivity of GTB Filter as an Improvised Exhaust Pipe Air Filter

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Pollution is one of the major problems in our surroundings here in the Philippines. Polluted air from vehicles and factories contribute to the destruction of our environment. The main purpose of the study is the acceptability of exhaust pipe air filter. The study focuses on the acceptability of the filter in terms of its effectiveness and air quality.

METHODS

The researchers chose the purposive or deliberate sampling under the non-random sampling as their strategy for their study and used a Hedonic Scale for the questionnaire. The researchers conducted the data gathering in St. Joseph Village 6, Cabuyao City, Laguna. The researchers used 50people who owned a diesel-powered vehicle as respondents for the data gathering.

RESULTS

Based on the results gathered, the obtained Weighted mean and Standard Deviation is 5 and 0 respectively in all the questions given in the questionnaire that means it is Highly Acceptable. This means that all the statements in the Statement of the Problem are true. Thus, rejecting the null hypothesis.

DISCUSSIONS

The researchers recommend to the future researchers interested in this study to find a better alternative to the sponge and the fabric with baking soda as the filtering material and making the procedure a lot easier. Finally, the researchers' advice was to innovate the design of the product.
