WARSAW (Dunya News) – A piece of public art has been placed on a wall in Poland’s Warsaw by using such paints which can remove pollution from the air.

The art work is the part of a series by American shoe manufacturer Converse called City Forests.

The company stated, “KNOxOUT paint reacts with nitrogen oxides (NOx), emitted by cars, factories and power stations when they come in contact with the surface of the art. Sunlight acts as a catalyst for a process that turns the NOx into water, small amounts of CO2 and calcium nitrate.”

“Pollution levels have dropped in many cities around the world as people are no longer commuting as much,” said a spokesman for Converse.
