    Love the idea especially for areas where there is no possibility for planting live trees!

    Wow! How does it inhale traffic noise which also is environmental pollution from land transport?

    This info is off of Biomitech’s website: Purification Capture capacity: 13, 140,000 m3 of air / annual Volume of purification: 975.2 kg / year Flow of air flow: 3,000 m3 / h Particle Capture PM 2.5 and 10: Filters up to 99.7% Equivalent to the breath of people per day: 2,850 people Equivalent to the release of O2 from young trees: 368 trees

    Nice idea, but poor reporting. There is no indication how effective they are at reducing pollution. No data at all. It seems doubtful they could make a big difference.
