World's largest air purification tower
[edit]
“Pui and his colleagues successfully installed their first air purification tower in China in 2016. As the world's first large-scale air filtration project, the tower relies on solar power to draw in polluted air ... Pui developed the technology in 2014 with the help of Ph.D. student Qingfeng Cao.”[5][6][7]
