OPEN AIR LAB IS DESIGNING A RETROFIT FABRIC FILTER banner TO BE ATTACHED TO THE RIGGINGS OF Ferries TRAVELING ALONG THE EAST RIVER, ACTIVELY CLEANING THE AIR OF POLLUTANTS AND DRAWING ATTENTION TO THE ISSUE OF AIR POLLUTION IN NEW YORK CITY.

In order for these filters to clean the air, there must be air flow. Most filters use fans to move air through the fabric. Instead, OPEN AIR LAB will attach the fabric to an already moving surface with high wind flow. 

ONE OF The most polluted AREAS of New York IS along the highways that frame the East River. Attached to boats traveling along the East River, the filter will comb the coastline and capture otherwise free floating pollutants.
