Global climate change, natural climate disasters and negative influence of human activity on environment bring challenges to us nowadays. Statistic data indicates that weather and climate changes have a considerable effect upon economics and social processes in our life. Indexes of effectiveness in any region of the globe in many industrial branches and, especially, in agro industrial sector depend on directly of climatic conditions.In many countries, the swing in harvest because of weather runs up to andeven exceeds 30%. Weather changes badly affect the cultivated crops quality as well.
The unreasoned and destructive human activity in conjunction with heavyweather conditions figures in some cases as a “natural catalytic agent” to impairalocal ecological situation. This is the cause of such processes as, for instance, drought and soil mineralization, which, in its turn, may account for irrecoverableloss of flora and fauna of the problem region.Issues of the day remain drought-affected and fire-risk areas, fogs control in airports and seaport zones, on motor roads and railways, deterioration of ecologicalsituation incities due to gas contamination and harmful substances in the air.
Water demand issues coming moreand more important. During the last 100 years, the Earth’s population tripled, but global water consumption increased seven times. Each day, people all around the world consume averagely 500 liters of water. Towns are responsible for 10% of global consumption, industry for 20% and agriculture for 70%. Man can live two to three days at most without water. One out of four people on the Earth don’t have access to potable water; every year, 3000000 people die from diseases brought on by contaminated water. Only 2.5% of the planet’s water is fresh water: 69% of it is in ice form, 30% in groundwater tables and 1% in lakes, rivers, in the ground and in air.
Approximately 19% of global water exists in the atmosphere as water vapor, and this is the potential supply source of fresh water. However, not so much of this huge supply of atmospheric water comes as precipitation with demanded amounts and at the right places. Surrounded by the water shortage and drought, environment risks and climate disasters, we may assume that technology capable to deal with these challenges will find proper place in our society.
Advanced Synoptic Technologies Ltd. is engaged in theoretic development, manufacture and subsequent practical employment of state-of-the-art technologies for local influence on atmospheric processes in the professional services market segment.
The system of influencing the atmospheric process has been developed around the idea of a rational product that meets the requirements imposed on the advanced technologies in this area:
Urgent need
Environmental safety
Optimal power consumption
High effectiveness /cost ratio
Fast deployment and commissioning
Reliability, flexibility and simple in use
With the above principles in mind, the experts of Advanced Synoptic Technologies chose to develop the corona ionizers as this is the most effective and safe method to produce the vital part of the technology: light negative oxygen ions and created the Influence on the Local Atmospheric Processes (ILAP) Technology.
