Fine particulate emissions alone, and just within Australia's four largest cities, are estimated to be responsible for some 1600 deaths annually, and are a leading cause of asthma and other lung disease. Hence the economic and social benefits of greatly reducing fine particulate emissions is enormous. Similar benefits can be expected to arise from the enhanced capture of SOx, NOx and heavy metals. Many of these pollutants also contribute to the greenhouse effect, so the international exploitation of the technology will also help to mitigate climate change. Should suitable sorbents be developed for CO2 capture, the technology will also enhance carbon capture and storage.

仅在澳大利亚四个最大城市内的细颗粒物排放，估计每年就造成约1600人死亡，并且是哮喘和其他肺部疾病的主要原因。因此，大大减少细颗粒物排放的经济和社会效益是巨大的。可以预期，加强对硫氧化物、氮氧化物和重金属的捕获也会产生类似的效益。其中许多污染物也会导致温室效应，因此国际上对该技术的利用也将有助于减缓气候变化。如果开发出合适的二氧化碳捕集吸附剂，该技术还将加强碳捕集和储存。
