ANSWER: China
The world’s largest outdoor purifier has been launched by China to combat smog harming the capital city Beijing
- The seven-meter-tall tower, brainchild of Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde, is undergoing last-minute checks in Beijing's 751 D Park art area.
- Called the Smog Free tower it will soon be opened to the public
- The tower can capture about 75 per cent of PM 2.5 and PM 10 tiny particles in its vicinity and then release purified air to create a "bubble" of fresh air around it.
- The tower can also clean 30,000 cubic meters of air per hour through its patented ozone-free ion technology.
- Beijing has been plagued with smog since October this year
- Average PM2.5 density of the small polluted particles crossed over 300 here.
