Daan Roosegaarde’s Smog Free Tower has already been active in Beijing for quite a while. According to China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection, the air around the tower is 55 percent cleaner than before. The Smog Free Tower in Beijing is the largest smog vacuum cleaner in the world. Beijing in China, one of the world’s most polluted cities, is the first stopover of the seven meters high air purifier in China. A further Chinese city will soon follow. Smog Free Tower started filtering air last year on 4 September 2015 in Rotterdam.

The Smog Free Tower in Beijing needs the same amount of electricity like a water boiler. With its energy-saving ion technology, the air purifier can be run with green energy. Billions of harmful PM2.5 airborne particles have been captured during the exhibition time of Smog Free Tower in Beijing. An equal volume of 10 Beijing National Stadiums, a volume of 30 million cubic meters, were filtered within 41 days.
