The Wind Six Intelligent Purifier is Worn as a Futuristic Headset By: Meghan Young - References: any-air.cn & ohgizmo The equipment looks similar to a headset and features an attached air outlet that rests below the nose. The team leader, Xu Zongyan, said the wearable air purifier is superior to smog masks, which 'make people breath hard' and pose risks of secondary pollution, ECNS relays.The device can remove as much as 99.9 percent of PM 2.5, the main pollutant in the air and 90 percent of formaldehyde, according to the team. Its filter cartridge needn't to be replaced, as it is washable.The constant air volume offered by the device reaches three cubic meters per hour, twice the amount of air inhaled by an average breath.With a high precision sensor, the device can be used to test air quality and users can check real-time data on an app.The battery life on the device is about six hours, but the team says it's trying to prolong the time to 10 hours. The team is also trying to market it as an aesthetically pleasing alternative to the regularly used bedazzled face masks.

The air we breathe is not as clean as it once was—and in many cases, it is getting worse. According to a recent study by researchers at UC Berkeley, smog kills about 4,000 people every day in China. And in the US about 4 in 10 people live in counties that have unhealthy levels of either ozone or particle pollution, according to the American Lung Association. To help clean up our air and make it breathable again, Danish designer Daan Roosegaarde created a 23-foot tall air purifier called the Smog Free Tower. The tower-like device essentially sucks up smog like a vacuum from the top and then releases the filtered air through its six-sided vents. It can clean more than 30,000 cubic meters of air per hour and runs on 1,400 watts of green energy.

The project, which was funded on Kickstarter, took Roosegaarde about three years of research and development, but he is finally showing off the prototype of his giant air purifier this week at in Rotterdam. According to Roosegaarde’s website, the air purifier was specifically created to be used in public parks. Roosegaarde describes how the tower works on its Kickstarter page: By charging the Smog Free Tower with a small positive current, an electrode will send positive ions into the air. A negatively charged surface — the counter electrode — will then draw the positive ions in, together with the fine dust particles. This technology manages to capture ultra-fine smog particles which regular filter systems fail to do. But the well-designed air purifier doesn’t just clean up smog, it can also be used to make fine jewelry. The fine carbon particles that the tower collects can be condensed to create tiny “gem stones” that can be embedded in jewelry pieces like rings and cufflinks.

Each of the tiny stones is the equivalent of 1,000 cubic meters of air. While the prototype is currently in Rotterdam, Roosegaarde aims to eventually roll out other models in Beijing, Mexico City, Paris, and Los Angeles.

So many people suffer from seasonal allergies that can be extremely severe on days with high pollen counts.

While staying inside can help, often that isn't practical. Also, because HVAC systems pull outside air into buildings, allergies can be severe even when inside. The Wearable Air Purifier is perfect for these days. It goes everywhere you go, purifying the air you breathe. Before you inhale the pollens into your nostrils, they are sucked into the Wearable Air Purifier and destroyed. Only fresh air, free of pollens as well as other allergens, bacteria and viruses is blown up toward your breathing zone. The Wearable air Purifier has been heavily tested and proven effective. While ionization has its limitations for whole room air purification, it is perfectly adequate for a space as small as a person's breathing zone. Moreover, can you imagine wearing an air purifier large enough to house a filter around your neck? The Wearable air Purifier is so lightweight to be almost unnoticeable, quite small and totally silent. Wein Mini-mate Wearable Air Purifier Specification Weighs only 1.5 ounces
