The vast consumption of fossil fuel as an energy source for the various industrial, commercial and municipal activities, has led to the production of huge air pollutants, in a manner that needs more modern and effective efforts and technologies to prevent their hazardous consequences. This project aims to the use of the subsoil of nearby grounds as a natural filter to distribute these pollutants based on the soil`s high porosity and their ability to handle huge amounts of the gaseous effluents of the artificial projects. Soil properties such as the mechanical properties, porosity and ground water content were tested for different depths for two types of soils, in order to assess their readiness for the tentative use as a gaseous filter and to avoid the possible negative effects for the injection of gaseous pollutants on their biologic systems. An experimental system was made using a 5 KVA power generator, the gaseous emissions of which would be distributed through the subsoil via a buried pipe. The project also, included the precautions for the possible machine backpressure that may damage it. The wet clay type of soil has shown remarkable better performance than the dry sand type.
