#Designer Air Purifier Converts Smog Into Jewelry As it Cleans Designer Air Purifier Converts Smog Into Jewelry As it Cleans Newsearthby Terry Turner-September 16,
20150 A Dutch artist is turning smog into jewelry using the world largest portable air purifier.
Daan Roosegaarde first got the idea for the device while visiting smog-filled Beijing. Inspiration struck when he realized that air pollution is largely CO2,
which is made up of tiny little particles of carbonnd if you put a lot of carbon under enough pressure,
Turning smog into diamonds would require too much energy but the designer, who has created also solar bike paths in The netherlands,
clean air wafting into the town square, the Smog Free Tower was cranking out the bits of carbon that would be compressed into tiny cubes.
Each of those cubes, less than one half-inch squared, is the equivalent of 1, 000 cubic meters of air cleansed of smog by the white machine.
The little black bundles, framed by stainless steel, were promised to anyone who donated#50 or more.
Smog-busting Roof Tiles Could Clean Tons of Pollution Study Says Roosegaarde wants to take the tower to some of the most polluted cities in the world,
Methane capture and storage provides a double environmental return-it removes a harmful greenhouse gas from the atmosphere that can then be used as a fuel that is cleaner than other fossil fuels.
Fuel suppliers are required also to reduce the greenhouse gas intensity of the EU fuel mix by 6 per cent by 2020 in comparison to 2010.

but it is also a major greenhouse gas. Conversion of CO2 to something useful could dramatically reduce its emission into the atmosphere
This could reduce emissions of a principal greenhouse gas that fosters climate change, and transform it into a useful, renewable fuel.
Even the most fuel efficient car has a large carbon footprint before ever leaving the plant. Czinger and his team's approach was to take the large plant out of the equation.
reducing its carbon footprint even further. Balzer says designing an eco-friendly speed demon supercar as their first prototype was intentional."

"The U s. EPA Mercury and Air Toxics Standards and the International Minamata Convention on Mercury, have focused on limiting the emissions of toxic air pollutants,
But this comfort comes with a considerable environmental cost--it's responsible for up to a third of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions.
Solving the problem is not so simple, especially with regards to aviation the source of two-percent of the annual greenhouse gas emissions from human activity.
