What would we do? Well we already have the technology to purify air and all we need to do is to install it. But how do they work?.
             What are the properties of air?.
             Composition of "normal" air.
             Air is a mixture of gasses.
             Atmosphere gases of relatively constant concentration (in percent by volume) are as follows:.
             Nitrogen (N2) 78.084 %.
             Oxygen (O2) 20.946 %.
             Argon (Ar) 0.934 %.
             Neon (Ne) 0.0018 %.

             Xenon (Xe) 0.0000087 %.
             The principal gases in air are water vapour, ozone, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. The typical ranges of these important gases are (in percent by volume):.
             water vapor (H2O) 0 to 7 %.
             carbon dioxide (CO2) 0.01 to 0.1 .average about 0.032 %.
             ozone (O3) 0 to 0.01 %.
             sulfur dioxide (SO2) 0 to 0.0001 %.
             nitrogen dioxide (NO2) 0 to 0.000002 %.

             Weight.
             At ground level a cubic meter of air weights about 1.2 kg.
             Air weighs about 2 pounds per cubic yard at sea level.
             Pressure.
             The atmospheric pressures is about 1.033kg/cm2 compared with an absolute vacuum. .
