Jerry recently returned from a trip to South America where he helped two old factories reduce pollution output by installing more modern scrubber equipment. Factory A previously filtered $80\%$ of pollutants and Factory B previously filled $72\%$ of pollutants. After installing the new scrubber system, both factories now filter $99.5\%$ of pollutants. Jerry explains the level of pollution reduction to Michael, "Factory A is the much larger factory. It's four times as large as Factory B. Without any filters at all, it would pollute four times as much as Factory B. Even with the better pollution filtration system, Factory A was polluting nearly three times as much as Factory B." Assuming the factories are the same in every way except size and previous percentage of pollution filtered, find $a+b$ where $a/b$ is the ratio in lowest terms of volume of pollutants unfiltered from both factories $\textit{after}$ installation of the new scrubber system to the volume of pollutants unfiltered from both factories $\textit{before}$ installation of the new scrubber system.
