An environmental air cleaning device for a road vehicle removes dust, particulate matter, and/or gases from environmental air. The environmental air cleaning device has one or more filter elements. The environmental air cleaning device is provided with a mounting device that rigidly couples to a vehicle-side mounting device for roof loads. A road vehicle with such an environmental air cleaning device is provided.

A filter device for ambient air filtration has a blower housing with air inlet and air outlet. A device for generating an air flow is arranged in the blower housing and generates an air flow in operation from air inlet to air outlet. A flexible air conducting hose is provided with a first open end connected to the air outlet of the blower housing and with a second closed end. The flexible air conducting hose has openings arranged between first open end and second closed end. Filter elements are arranged in the openings, respectively. The filter elements separate a raw side inside the air conducting hose from a clean side downstream of the filter element. The air conducting hose is inflated in operation of the device by the air flow. The flexible air conducting hose has a reduced air permeability compared to the air permeability of the filter elements.

An outdoor air cleaning system includes a partition surrounding a purification space to isolate the purification space from an external space and having at least one opening connecting the purification space to the external space, an air purifying device configured to supply purified air to the purification space, and a controller configured to control the air purifying device. An openness level defined as an area ratio of the opening with respect to a surface area of the partition is about 10% or more and about 50% or less.

A filter may remove PM.sub.2.5 and/or other airborne pollutants, which filter has fibers of an average diameter of no more than 500 nm, the fibers of at least 90 wt. % polyacrylonitrile, relative to all fibers in the filter; and a catalyst of at least 90 wt. % TiO.sub.2, relative to all catalytic metals in the filter, dispersed onto the fibers. The fibers need not be charged. The TiO.sub.2 may be condensed or precipitated onto the fibers out of a liquid containing the TiO.sub.2 and the fibers by simple methods. The catalyst may be activated by UV irradiation to decompose particulate matter having an average particle size of 2.5 m or less, i.e., PM.sub.2.5, and/or other airborne pollutants from air. Such filters may be implemented around areas of vehicle traffic, e.g., as elements of traffic lights, and may be used to controllably purify polluted air.

The application provides a fresh air purification window for preventing haze. A ventilation device is provided with an upper layer and a lower layer and partitioned by a transverse middle-layer partition plate, an exhaust fan is mounted in the upper layer, an air feeder is mounted in the lower layer, an air inlet grille is formed on the upper layer through front-layer glass, and a half-closed space with an air cavity unidirectionally provided with an exhaust opening is formed by the upper layer, upper-layer glass, a middle-layer separation partition plate and air cavity one-sided glass. The fresh air purification window has the effects of lowering the shielding light ray of the current purification window and enabling the current purification window to be compact in structure.

An air purifier includes a upper cover, having at least one grid column on front terminal of the upper cover; a bottom cover, having at least one grid column on front terminal of the bottom cover; and two groups of ultraviolet light emitting diodes (LEDs), respectively having a heat sink and a ultraviolet light emitting diode (LED), wherein the ultraviolet LED is mounted on the heat sink, and a wavelength range of the ultraviolet LED is between 100 nm and 480 nm; wherein the grid column on front terminal of the upper cover is combined with the grid column on front terminal of the bottom cover to form a column hole through which an air flows out.

A device for cleaning air, particularly outdoors, includes at least one housing (2) having at least one air inlet (3), filter means (4, 5), at least one fan (6), and at least one air outlet (8, 108, 208). The device is inexpensive and easy to use, and enables the user to remove pollutants from air at arbitrary times at arbitrary location because the device is transportable and implemented for positioning at different installation sites. The device may include transport means (11), particularly a chassis (11) having wheels (12). An arrangement may include a plurality of devices for cleaning air, and a software-based application, particularly a smartphone application, may be used for controlling the plurality of devices for cleaning air.

A system and method for reducing smog in an urban area includes an urban area having an urban surface. A smog atmospheric layer is located above the urban surface. A mixing atmospheric layer is located above the smog atmospheric layer. A plurality of turbines is located on the urban surface and moves a quantity of air between the smog atmospheric layer and the mixing atmospheric layer. A system and method for reducing smog in an urban area includes an urban area and a rural area adjacent to the urban area. An urban boundary demarcates the urban area and the rural area. A plurality of turbines is located within the rural area and/or the urban area, and moves a quantity of air between the urban area and the rural area.
