A system for the removal of gaseous pollutants including smoke, exhaust and other gases that are released into the atmosphere, comprises means for enclosing the gaseous pollutants that are released into the atmosphere and for transporting them through tubing and ductwork. Means for filtering the gaseous pollutants through a filtration system and then mixing the gaseous pollutants exiting the filtration system with steam. Means for cooling the gaseous pollutants mixed with steam exiting the filtration system with a mist to convert the pollutants being cooled from a gaseous state to a liquid state, while concurrently disposing of the smoke, exhaust, liquid and solid particulates that are in the pollutants.
