scrubbers
Industrial emission filters
Scrubbers are devices that remove pollutants from industrial exhaust gases before they enter the atmosphere, typically by passing emissions through water or chemical solutions.
Power plants and factories use scrubbers to reduce sulfur dioxide and particulate matter.
In domestic contexts, scrubbers are abrasive cleaning pads or brushes: I need new scrubbers for the pots and pans.
