If an indoor air purifier can be enlarged and moved to the outdoor space, is to effectively solve Beijing's "smog" problem?
2 years ago, a man named Dan·luosijiade (Daan Roosegaarde) Netherlands Designer, felt in Beijing after the impact of the haze, were so inspired. So he took his design team, created the world's first outdoor cleaner--"fog Tower" (Smog Free Tower).
The 23-foot (7 m) move the cleaner, in the Netherlands after Rotterdam was tested, move in September this year to Beijing, China, showcase, laboratory purification effect.
From the appearance point of view, "haze Tower" looks like a miniature version of the chrome frame skyscrapers. Luosijiade surging journal (www.thepaper.CN) said in an interview that "smog Tower" works and various indoor air purifier, in its interior has a powerful vacuum cleaner, using ionization technique inhaling smog, filter out harmful particles, and discharges clean air. Project prototypes based on is currently in hospital and car-purification technology used in the system, in addition to its own clean air, the device is using a green wind energy, power consumption is very low, no larger than a water heater electricity consumption (about 1400W).
"Our method is air inhaled from the top, after treatment, discharge from the bottom. To clean the air of a thrust, was formed by its clean air, thereby affecting the surrounding environment. Obtaining test results from Rotterdam, Tower filtration 30,000 cubic meters of air per hour, and within a day and a half can purify the area the size of a football field. "Surging luosijiade told the press.
Luosijiade told the Word Press (www.thepaper.CN), design inspiration of the device inspired by Chinese temple architecture. "When I visited the temple Tower in the Park, just think what would happen if we can build clean energy Tower, will reduce pollution to the city. That's why we will design Tower. "Luosijiade said.
Invited by China's environmental protection sector, in Beijing in September will put to the test
In September of this year, the device will be invited by China's environmental protection sector, came to Beijing to display.
"At the completion of these projects. But when the program was launched, we have received from China, Mexico, and India and other countries the invitation and contact. Because this project is from Beijing, I was inspired, so I think the show can return to Beijing is excellent. "Luosijiade said.
According to the Word Press (www.thepaper.CN) understanding environmental institutions directly under the Ministry of environment journalists ' Association in June this year, China launched the "reducing haze in action" plan, Netherlands "smog Tower" tour is one of the projects.
"China is changing. 4-5 years ago, when I first came to Beijing, many people don't want to talk about the haze problem, which was a taboo subject. And now change is taking place. About a month ago, when I communicate with government departments in, they become more open and willing to share information, and start thinking about how to solve the haze problem. "Surging luosijiade told the press in China feel the change," I think the Chinese Government is now very clear that needs clean energy, green industry. So they need some projects such as the haze removal, to tell the public, make the public aware of the importance of clean energy. "
Environmental Journalists Association Secretary General Liu guozheng was the "smog Tower" project invites the people of the Chinese side. He said in an interview: "the purpose of this project is to give people advice and reminders, let more persons to participate in reducing haze in action. "He believes that this project in China, you can attract more attention to smog issues.
In addition to Beijing, the fog Tower will be on display in four other cities in China. As to which cities, luosijiade said the choice in the public. When his Studio will be launched on the Internet vote, elected by the public touring the city.
Luosijiade did not say in an interview "smog Tower" of specific costs, but said there were plans to produce more similar devices in the future. "Because it is a pilot project, we at build time using the best materials and technology, took 2 years, so it's very expensive. We do have more equipment in production, but will have to wait until after our show in Beijing to disclose. "
The funny thing is, "haze Tower" carbon particles extracted from the air is compressed and sealed in acrylic, rings, cuff links and a small box made from the sale. Proceeds thus obtained will be used to promote more haze removal tower development and construction work. Luosijiade said that all preparatory activities other than contributed the initial haze of 113,000 euros (about 832,000 million).
"Smog Tower" effect?
According to the Beijing environmental protection Bureau, in 2015, there are 186 days of good air quality in Beijing, accounted for 51% of the year. In other words, poor air quality days accounted for almost half of all time.
"Smog Tower" can bring change to the air quality in Beijing?
"Smog to cleaning a park, is not the ultimate goal, of course, will not solve all the problems. This is what a lot of people understand. But I think that only you can build clean energy awareness, and considers that this technology can solve the problem, is a more important step is the first step toward the ultimate solution. "Luosijiade told the Word Press (www.thepaper.CN).
Both luosijiade and is part of the Chinese Government, are well aware of only a "smog Tower" does not even solve Beijing's air problems. But Liu guozheng pointed out that "Apart from the haze of Tower warning is still very important. It can remind us of mission and responsibility to fight smog problem. "
The coincidence is, in front of the luosijiade Tower in China, in the city of Xian, Shaanxi Province, China also has a haze reduction unit caps as scheduled.
Integrated system of Shaanxi large solar air cleaner
This by the Shaanxi environmental protection group are responsible for construction and operation of large solar air cleaning system (HSALSCS) is located in the XI ' an city Chang ' an district, southwestern corner of West Changan Street and cross the road.
According to the Shaanxi daily reported that this project is the Institute of the Earth's environment and the air management control project, total construction area is 2580 square meters. Device by removing atmosphere haze removal of PM2.5 and the formation of smog such as NOx, SO2, key precursors, thus effectively controlling smog formation.

Surging News (www.thepaper.CN) call the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Earth and environmental projects and experimental data, the staff said the project is still in the experimental process, is still unable to provide specific data.
"I have heard of this project in China, is very interesting. 2 years ago, when I launch Tower project, when I was asked, it may do, will the machine is very noisy, and we made out. Now, Chinese people started trying to do such a thing. This is what we hope, to inspire people to make changes. "Luosijiade said.

Compare two items, belonging to the fixtures of the China program, Netherlands "smog Tower" you can move; the former uses solar energy, which is used by wind energy.
"But our goal is the same, is that urban ultimately take such a device. Hope 5-10 years later, were a common use of clean energy, we no longer need them. "Luosijiade said.
Environmental protection requires action and cooperation
Designer luosijiade
Luosijiade, 36 years old, was born in the family of teachers of mathematics, and in the Netherlands grew up in the rural Lake District, new science in the West. After studying art and architecture, his studio in Rotterdam was founded in his name. Studio projects are associated with the environment, energy, in addition to smog Tower, luosijiade and another two projects to attract international attention: Netherlands company Heijmans cooperative intelligent road infrastructure services (Smart Highway) van Gogh bicycle lanes (Van Gogh Bicycle Path). Two projects are used in the Sun during the day charge, luminous paints at night. Two large steel Central declared together Wuhan
Intelligent highways
Van Gogh bicycle path
These projects also manifests himself to man and the relationship between environmental thinking.
"You know, blame is always very easy, you can blame the Government, enterprises, and blame a lot of people. But the question is, what did you do to change? So I think this project to show the people the possibility of turning an idea into reality, I know that this may not be the final solution. But to show you the new technologies, new creation, telling everyone that we can really change the city. We should not wait for Government measures, or companies to make changes. We should be more active. "Luosijiade said.
In addition to the need for more proactive action, but luosijiade think that environmental protection requires cooperation. He pointed out that environmental protection cannot solely rely on the Government forces. For Governments, policy usually starts from the top, takes a while to see the results, and to the entire country. In contrast, with the exception of haze project is starting from the ground, and gradually to more urban developments. If the Government and civil society can cooperate, it will be very interesting, can also solve many problems.
