To at least minimize the amount of pollutants in the air that we breath, a Korean industrial designer Seung Jun Jeong Seung has designed an artificial tree that acts just like the real one, by cleaning the air in its vicinity. The technology called Air Tree has an electronic fan that sucks in ambient air and pumps it through the HEPA filters to remove all particulates present in the air. The air then comes out from the top of the tower, which also carries an LED lamp to illuminate the seating area incorporated in the Air Tree. The system can be mounted on streets or in a garden to clean ambient air.
