Dutch Designed ‘Smog Free Tower’ Clears the Air in Rotterdam

The city of Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, has opened the world’s first smog-free tower. The seven-metre high tower sucks in dirty air than filters it with Ion technology, returning bubbles of smog-free air through the tower’s vents. It is able to clean 30,000 cubic metres of air an hour.

This incredible invention is the work of Dutch Designer Daan Roosegaarde and his team. Roosegaarde has far-reaching ambitions for the tower, which is part of his Smog-Free Project.

The first 7-meter high Smog Free Tower is now open for public at Vierhavensstraat 52 in Rotterdam NL, and will travel around the world.

The first Smog Free Tower cleans 30.000m3 per hour without ozon, runs on green wind energy and uses no more electricity than a waterboiler (1400 watts).
