Five striking high-tech ‘CityTrees’ are being installed in Cork city centre as part of Cork City Council's strategy to tackle air pollution across the city. The four metre-tall units are being installed at St Patrick’s Street near French Church Street and on the Grand Parade near the City Library.
Using Internet Of Things (IOT) technology, these pieces of street furniture – which are covered in a mixture of moss cultures - filter harmful pollutants out of the air.
