PLEASE HELP ME IM SO LOST Smog is a major health concern in many major cities, including Los Angeles, California and Beijing, China. Engineers in China are working on an anti-smog bike, which will take in air, remove pollutants, and release cleaner air. What social and cultural impacts of this solution need to be considered?

Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde has announced the next phase of his Smog Free Project: a bike that sucks in polluted air and releases purified air in a cloud around the cyclist.

According to Roosegaarde, whose design firm Studio Roosegaarde has offices in both Rotterdam and Beijing, the idea for his Smog Free Project came just over three years ago, as he gazed out of his Beijing apartment’s window. On a Saturday, the city skyline is visible; on weekdays, it’s shrouded in smog.
