The document summarizes a smog-free tower installed in the Netherlands that uses ion technology to clean air. It sucks in dirty air and releases cleaner air through vents. It is able to clean 30,000 cubic meters of air per hour. The tower works by charging air with positive ions that attach to fine dust particles, which are then drawn into and collected inside the tower by a negatively charged surface. The designer hopes to install additional smog-free towers in highly polluted cities like Delhi to help improve air quality.

2. Introduction
 Designer DaanRoosegaarde has
installed the LARGEST SMOG
FREE TOWER IN THE
WORLD”.
 The tower installed in a
parking garage here in
the Netherlands.
 It sucks and cleans both the
inside and outside air “Inside
the parking garage” the air
became 70% cleaner.

3. HOW ITS WORKED SMOKE FREE
TOWER
 The technology powering
based on ozone free ion
technology.
 The seven-metre high tower
sucks in dirty air like a giant
vacuum cleaner.
 Smog Free tower cleans the air
by sucking in smog from the
top and releasing filtered air
through its six-sided vents.

4.  The fine dust that would
normally harm us is
collected together with the
ions and stored inside of the
tower.
 It is able to clean 30,000
cubic metres of air an per
hour.

5. CONTROLLED PM2.5 & PM 10
 By charging the Smog
Free Tower with a small
positive current, an
electrode will send
positive ions into the air.
These ions will attach
themselves to fine dust
particles.

7.  The fine dust that would normally harm us is collected
together with the ions and stored inside of the tower.
 A negatively charged surface – the counter electrode –
will then draw the positive ions in, together with the
fine dust particles.

8. SUCCESS FOR ROOSEGAARDE’S FIRST SMOG FREE TOWER IN CHINA
 China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection reports
55% cleaner air in the vicinity of the Smog Free Tower.
 Dutch designer & innovator DaanRoosegaarde
presents successful test results of the world’s largest
smog vacuum cleaner in Beijing, China. The Smog
Free Project, consisting of the Smog Free Tower and
Smog Free Jewellery, concluded the first chapter of its
China tour in Beijing. Following its successful Beijing
exhibition, Smog Free Project will continue its China
tour to more Chinese cities.

9.  For a period of 41 days,
the Smog Free Tower has
cleaned a volume of 30
million m3 of Beijing’s.
 Beijing’s air which equals
to a volume of 10 Beijing
National Stadiums.

10. Smog Free Tower Helps Turn Smog
Into JEWELRY
 After the tower collects
piles of black powder, the
designers will turn it into
rings. Diamonds take too
much energy to produce so,
instead, the designers will
make simple square rings
with a cube of compressed
pollution.
 Every ring holds as much
smog as 1,000 cubic meters
of city air.

15. PATNERSHIP DELHI GOVT. AND
UNION COMPANY
 SMOG FREE TOWER is due to travel around the
world two cities including DELHI and BEIJING.
 ROOSEGAARDE hopes to bring the Smog Free
Project to India latest by 2018, starting with Delhi.
 They have a local partner, a private investment
company here and are in touch with the Union and
Delhi governments .
 We will also be doing some workshops at IITs
(Indian Institutes of Technology) and universities in
Delhi.

16. Action plan Ministry of Environmental Protection of the
People's Republic of China (MEP)
 China Has Shut Down Up to 70% coal based Factories.
 2,570 polluting factories will be closed or upgraded.
 The Chinese government has used cloud seeding
technology .
 Replacing Conventional Diesel with CNG.
 support for wind, solar and bio power sectors;
increase in proportion of clean energy.
