Tuzla smog eater 1
Description
Tuzla is one of the cities that faces extremely high levels of air pollution, and this building is the first to have a mural painted with photocatalytic paints based on titanium oxide, which have the property of absorbing pollutants from the air.
Walls painted in this way, through complex chemical processes, neutralize pollutants from the air, which is why such walls are called smog consumers.
In addition to functionality, the mural also has significant artistic value, and it is signed by David Strauss, a world-renowned Canadian-Czech muralist who has participated in a number of campaigns and painted some of the world's most famous murals.
The mural was painted as part of the project "Let's catch smog and polluting particles - art in the function of improving air quality and raising public awareness", which is implemented by the Forestry and Environment Initiative FEA, with the financial support of the FBiH Environmental Protection Fund.
The city of Tuzla provided support when applying to the Federal Fund for Environmental Protection.
