    You don't have to be a scientist to solve big environmental problems. One Dutch designer is finding creative ways to make a change – and he's inviting cyclists to join him.

    Daan Roosegaarde, 38, is a designer from the Netherlands. He uses creative ideas to improve city life. For his Smog Free Project, he designed a portable tower that cleans air in Chinese parks.

    In the Netherlands, he designed a glowing bicycle path.

    Now Daan and his team are working with engineers at Chinese bike-sharing company Ofo to create a new product for public use. It's an air-cleaning machine attached (连接) to a bicycle and is part of the Smog Free Project.

    In smoggy weather, the device would breathe in the air in front of the bike and blow out a stream of clean air toward the cyclist's face. So how does it work? Daan said the "smog-free bikes" would use the process of ionization (电离作用) to collect harmful particles in the air, such as PM 2.5.

    "Take a balloon and polish it with your hand to produce static (静电) – it's the same principle (原理)," Daan told China Daily.

    It's no secret that air pollution is a big problem for China. In winter, it's common for thick clouds of haze, caused largely by factory production, burning of coal and car emissions, to cover areas of China. In 2016, only one-fourth of Chinese cities met the country's air quality standards (标准), according to a survey of 338 cities nationwide from the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

    "Of course one tower and a few bikes won't solve China's air pollution problem," Daan told The Guardian. "But smog-free bikes are an exciting idea that will hopefully activate communities toward creating greener cities."
