This Is A Brick Made From The Dust In Beijing’s Smog

wYOCpmG.jpg

This brick is made of pollutants sucked out of the air in Beijing.

It took just 100 days of traipsing around Beijing with a vacuum for a Chinese artist to collect enough dust to make the brick.

The artist, who goes by the monicker ‘Nut Brother’, used an industrial vacuum to literally suck pollution out of the air to make the smog brick.

He didn’t use your average hoover, though - the heavy duty vacuum is capable of sucking up any particulate matter with a diameter of over 0.2 microns. It was able to suck in air equivalent to the amount breathed in by 62 people per day.

He was out collecting pollution during some of the city’s worst onsets of smog and haze, and he got the idea when Beijing was hit with severe smog back in 2013.

“Our city is becoming overcrowded by cars and surrounded by chemical engineering,” he said. “We create more dust by asking for more resources, and we will become dust when all our resources are depleted.“

The 34-year-old artist hopes that the project might one day become a commercial success rather than just an artistic one.

Tu, William Campbell from the United States and Satoshi Omura from Japan received the medicine prize for unlocking revolutionary treatments for malaria and roundworm, helping to roll back two parasitic diseases that blight millions of lives.

Tu, 84, received the Nobel medal, Nobel diploma and a document confirming a cash award.

“The discovery of Artemisinin has led to development of a new drug that has saved the lives of millions of people, halving the mortality rate of malaria during the past 15 years,” said Professor Hans Forssberg, member of the Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine.

Tu and her team managed to extract a substance from Artemisia annua, or sweet wormwood, that proved effective in reducing mortality rates for patients suffering from malaria.

Tu received half of this year’s medicine prize of about U$$47.5 million.
