The device is mainly comprised of: a hollow inlet member which includes water tanks obtaining water from an associated automatic water pump. Water from the tanks is provided to one or more mist pumps via an interconnecting pipe which then supply one or more mist nozzle heads connected to the said mist pump(s) via further pipes. The resulting spray of pressured tiny water droplets delivers pollutants toward the said hollow inlet member. A drain channel located around the lower edge of the said hollow inlet member gathers the polluted water droplets and delivers them downward through a lead-away pipe to a collecting storage tank. Complementary means including electronic sensors and metal supports may also be used. The invention can be operated in an automatic or semi-automatic way. The device's design has some flexibility, and its size can be adjustable to fit the required chimney.2/5 55 30 35 60 65re. Figure 2
