Pollution is one of the biggest problems facing China. From city-covering domes to ‘clean air’ bikes, numerous madcap solutions have been considered.
1. Covering cities with huge bubble domes
In April London-based firm Orproject revealed the Bubbles project, which involved huge bubble-like structures filled with clean air. The idea was developed with the firm’s Beijing team.
They kind of remind us of The Simpsons Movie

2. Encouraging everyone to wear face masks
These are all the rage in Chinese cities. However it’s been revealed that millions of them have no effective filters, basically making them a smog fashion accessory.
3. ... Or nose plugs
Last year traffic police in Shanghai were given anti-pollution nose filters, dubbed “invisible masks”, to protect them from car fumes. You can, of course, get more conspicuous nose filters, like this guy’s.
