1. A particulate material retaining and atmospheric acid gas neutralizing device, comprising:
a gas inlet for introducing atmospheric gas having particulate material;
a first programmed movement-oriented cylinder (PMOC) having a top end and a bottom end;
a capture and transformation tank (CTT) having a top end and a bottom end;
a first intermediate plate located between the first PMOC and the CTT, said first intermediate plate having a top face and a bottom face;
wherein the bottom end of the first PMOC is connected to the top face of the first intermediate plate;
wherein the top end of the CTT is connected to the bottom face of the first intermediate plate;
wherein the first intermediate plate includes at least one opening adapted to provide the bottom end of the PMOC with access into the CTT;
a basic substance storage tank (BSST) adapted to store a programmed basic substance, wherein said BSST includes a top end and a bottom end;
a second intermediate plate located between the CTT and the BSST, said second intermediate plate having a top face and a bottom face;
wherein the bottom end of the CTT is connected to the top face of the second intermediate plate;
wherein the top end of the BSST is connected to the bottom face of the second intermediate plate;
one or more spiracles or outputs adapted to direct the programmed basic substance from the BSST into the CTT and to facilitate the upward and downward recirculation of the programmed basic substance from the BSST;
a centrifugal pump;
a first basic substance conduction duct connecting the BSST to the centrifugal pump;
a second basic substance conduction duct connecting the centrifugal pump to the first PMOC;
wherein the first and second basic conduction ducts are adapted to guide a flow of the programmed basic substance from the BSST into the first PMOC, via activation of the centrifugal pump;
a gas outlet duct connected to the CTT, wherein said gas outlet duct is adapted to release the particulate material once it has been decontaminated or de-particularized; wherein the first PMOC is adapted to displace the programmed basic substance flowing through the first and second basic substance conduction ducts;
wherein the CTT comprises a plurality of internal compartments adapted to capture and transform one or more gases and particulate material;
wherein the first compartment in the plurality of internal compartments includes one or more nozzles adapted to receive the gases and particulate material; and
wherein the plurality of internal compartments comprise one or more mechanical bronchioles adapted to deposit the gases and particulate material in a plurality of traps or mechanical alveoli distributed along the length of the CTT.
