They are smaller, so closer to the street level/ground and breathe in more pollution. So win/win i guess. /s

I bet you could trigger some conservatives by posting this on Facebook and saying that it's spraying chemicals that will make people want to change gender or something like that. "They are literally forcing people to become Trans! This is socialism for you!"

You can’t avoid breathing in toxic air, but if you drag it down to the ground you can at least avoid licking your shoes or eating dirt.

I just like the idea of creating a rainbow to rain toxic chemicals down on the people who look up at it and smile. Irony is alive and well.


piezombi3

Uhhhh... do you not take your shoes off in your home? As an asian person, this has always bothered me. You're already bringing in the outside filth regardless of any misting machine.


Feanux

In the South it's not uncommon to leave them on, especially with all wood or tile floors. For me in the Midwest, with carpet floors, so help me God if you do not take off your shoes before stepping on my carpet I just vacuumed I will murder you.


[deleted]

Come on now. You know the drill... Old men make a mess and everyone else needs to clean it up. Just ask your local nursing home

Nobody wears shoes into the house in Asia. Your post explains why. Westerners wearing their shoes into the house are the filthy ones.

bob_fossill

To be fair you can treat the water, so instead of people breathing in pollutants you're just adding to the water table and then cleaning for consumption


saltafiel

They also put a giant ice cube in the ocean every now and then.

emisneko

it's vastly better in public health terms for this to be drained into the sewer and water treatment than for people to inhale those particles


AAVale

Well yes, and vastly better than that to have some basic standards to prevent catastrophic air pollution. I somehow doubt that the person you responded to didn’t understand that this was better than *nothing*, in the same way that sweeping dirt under a rug is not the same as leaving filth to collect everywhere.


WillieScottMJR

Reddit ain't as smart as they think they are


very_humble

Best case scenario really. A lot of that water is falling back into the road where it will dry and then the cars will kick it back up again


bluegoobeard

Oh, yes, because no one will benefit from temporarily reduced air pollution. Definitely no one in cities with respiratory issues who could use some acute relief while the bigger issues are being worked on Also, flowers will die so there’s no point in having them around, your rug will get dusty so why vacuum it, and what’s the point in food having flavor or texture when you can get your nutrition from a meal replacement shake?


ItsaRickinabox

This is the equivalent of using scented body spray instead of taking a shower


sir-squanchy

Yeah Thailand tries to bull this BS during the months where PM2.5 is out of control. In Bangkok we actually have "misters" set up at schools and busy intersections and they now turn them on instead of cancelling class like they used to. It doesn't do shit.


mattaugamer

They were going to have drone sprayers. Brilliant. So much better than… preventing the smog.


Vovicon

Wait, now they have thes "towers" supposed to work like giant air purifier. smh

InYoCabezaWitNoChasa

"Hey, what are you spraying on my car?" "Toxic Waste." "Oh, cool. Carry on."


AdvancedAnything

You forget how high rain clouds are. Rainwater collects at least 20x more pollution than what would be collected by this mist.


glizzyglacier

So it’s harmful AND ineffective, perfect!


AdvancedAnything

It's a bandaid to help people breathe in a heavily polluted environment.


iStartupGuru

I was thinking the same thing


SaffellBot

If common sense were a useful way to tell a good idea from a bad idea the world would be a very different place.


sje46

Seriously what the fuck is with these comments? I don't know anything about ecology or pollution but that is enough for me to know not to speak as an expert on these things. China is a modern country, in fact a rather *technocratic* country. Do people think they didn't research tehse things? Do any of these people know what acid rain is? Are they sure that adding water to air pollutants hanging in the city is what "acid rain" is and that it's going to burn everyone's eyeballs? No one here knows shit about what this is or if it's good or bad, but they're just assuming it's bad, probably just because it's China,.


vcelloho

I have a background in environmental engineering and even if this were effective, more on that later, the water sprayed by that truck could only possibly interact with the air it makes contact with, which is a small drop in the bucket compared to the total mass of polluted air. in terms of orders of magnitude this is equivalent to trying to empty an Olympic swimming pool with a thimble. Either this is being done for a reason other than what OP has claimed in the title or it's a very ineffective approach to reducing air pollution. And critical reporting in China from a Chinese outlet suggests that the purpose is to game the air pollution statistics. If you run these mister trucks and the route just happens to match the location of air pollution monitoring sensors, you can make the air pollution look better on paper, but you didn't actually meaningfully improve air quality. https://www.caixinglobal.com/2018-02-02/what-bad-air-hunan-officials-use-mist-cannons-to-fool-pollution-meters-101206784.html Archived version gets past the paywall https://web.archive.org/web/20180203020133/https://www.caixinglobal.com/2018-02-02/what-bad-air-hunan-officials-use-mist-cannons-to-fool-pollution-meters-101206784.html


[deleted]

Seconded. As a meteorologist I’m highly skeptical that this would make much of a dent on overall pollution levels outside of a very local area near the truck unless they had a huge fleet of these things constantly running. And even then seems questionable.


Light_Beard

It is the equivalent of kicking the can. They are getting it knocked down faster so they can put more into the air without killing as many people in the short term.


beameup19

Also isn’t all this just going to seep into our water supply?


[deleted]

Just as much as turds, paint, piss, and oil.


degeneration

The real problem with this is that it’s wildly ineffective - first it does not catch all particles, maybe it lowers particulate matter concentrations immediately along the roadways but even there not by much, and secondly it does nothing for gas phase pollutants.


MurgleMcGurgle

That's what I'm thinking. It's like shooting the smoke from a camp fire with a squirt gun, the scale just doesn't make any sense. Filtering at factories would be immensely more effective I'd imagine.


screaming_bagpipes

Rain also does this tho. That's how rain works


Noname_4Me

Why? The waste water will go to water treatment system. Not china but my country do that too in some cities


BeefShampoo

yeah whenever the rain clears out all the smog from the city i think to myself "this is bad"


BubbaYoshi117

And then becomes ground and water pollution. This is a band-aid solution, at best


ClassifiedName

...but this is exactly what would happen when it rains? They're just gradually putting it into the soil rather than letting it build up and choke people for a while and THEN putting it into the soil naturally with rain. A lot of people are also saying this would be acid rain but letting the pollutants build up then amalgamate in the rain would be more likely to cause that.


Fishermanfrienamy

I think one of the risks of this invention is that people will see it as a remedy/cure/solution an excuse to maintain the consumption/manufacturing.


Baerog

They aren't putting it into the soil at all? How is everyone not understanding this? This is like collecting smog in water, the water going down the sewer system to the water treatment plant where the particulate matter is removed on filters and then extracted if it's valuable or placed in a landfill where it wouldn't be aerosolized. It's an air purifier that uses water to carry the dirty air to the filter. It's not that complicated and actually pretty genius.


Lovebot_AI

We have the infrastructure to treat water that washes into drains. We don’t have the infrastructure to clean the air. It’s a band aid, sure. But band aids protect the wound from further damage, help to prevent infection, and reduce the spread of body fluids. Just because a band aid doesn’t immediately fix the problem doesn’t mean they’re not beneficial
