The Dutch inventors say that their machine can filter 95% of ultra-fine particles and 100% of fine particles out of the air. It cleans 80,000 m³ of air per hour within a 300-meter radius and up to a height of 7km.
"It's a large industrial filter about 8 metres long, made of steel ... placed basically on top of buildings and it works like a big vacuum cleaner," said Henk Boersen, a spokesman for the Envinity Group, which unveiled the system at an energy conference in Amsterdam.“ A large column of air will pass through the filter and come out clear,” Boersen told AFP at the conference.
The Envinity Group is a tech start-up that aims to improve the future for people, animals and the environment in a sustainable manner. Many businesses and countries are already interested in the cleaner, according to the group....

Meet the giant vacuum cleaner designed to filter out the fine and ultra fine pollution particles linked to early deaths. Just for fun, let let me try this idea: we plug in the giant filter to run with power that creates pollution to run the filter that cleans the air that the filter cleans powered by electricity... I think you get the joke.
Let's hope it has a giant net benefit in greenhouse gas terms.
Of course, the White House won't need one now. Because the President-Elect says it's a "hoax" and "created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive."
The irony is a climate change infrastructure initiative could create millions of high paying jobs.
When the new POTUS visits China to rip up the trade deal, he's better bring along a surgical mask to wear like millions of Beijing residents. The air there is brown, nasty and harmful to your lungs.
