Temple of air purification
Farming rubber sustainably is complex and expensive, and requires an overhaul of traditional farming practices. Deforestation has historically been driven by high rubber prices, which is why it is critical that farmers increase yield to ensure that, when prices rise again, increased rubber production does not come at a cost for forests. Unsustainably-managed rubber plantations can create severe air pollution if, to clear land quickly and cheaply, it is slashed and burned, which has a major impact on forest flora and fauna
Beijing, one of the most polluted cities in the world, has created a work that may correct the weather for beauty. His design is a seven-meter metal structure with an air purifier inside. The tower sucks in polluted air and blows clean air. The idea for the largest air imaginer was hidden during a trip three years ago. The designer Dan Rosegard who, after a trip to China in 2014, was affected by air pollution and could not see from everything else because of the pollution that inspired him to build the largest air purification system. When Rosgard Mengeud traveled to China, nothing of the city could be seen through the window of a 32-story hotel room because the whole city was under pressure.
Two years later, he returned to China with the world’s largest air purifier, a smokeless tower that could produce bubbles of clean air in parks in major Chinese cities, hoping Chinese citizens would be aware of the dangers of air pollution. It is now being piloted in Rotterdam, but has had an amazing impact on the surrounding environment. One of the interesting signs of this effect is the interest of rabbits in the surroundings of this tower. Using ionic technology, the structure absorbs small, suspended particles of pollution, PM2.5 and PM10, in exchange for which it emits clean air into the environment, thus making the surrounding air 75% cleaner than the air in other parts.
The function of this tower, in simple terms, is to create static electrical energy in plastic balloons that cause various particles to stick to it. The seven-meter tower can also clean about 30,000 cubic meters of air per hour, which means it can clean the air of a small neighborhood daily, while consuming 1,400 watts of electricity. The tower was scheduled to arrive in China in September and be installed in Beijing for the first time. That’s what happened. The air purification tour, which is being carried out in collaboration with Rosgard and the Chinese Ministry of Environmental Protection, will stop in various cities based on the results of an online online poll.
Not only does the tower clean the air, but Rosegard and his team use the pollutants collected in the tower to make jewelry. Inspired by the process of forming diamonds in nature, he compresses the contaminants collected in the towers, which are usually made of carbon, and then puts them in the resin.
