The inflatable gym created by the school is sufficiently big to hold a great number of students. It has a filtration system that filters the air from the open field into the 'pneumatic membrane' via the air-ducts making it clean when it goes inside. Additionally, the air pressure inside the gym is higher compared air pressure outside, thus effectively keeping away the PM2.5 particulate matter.

PM2.5 are toxin which make the air look hazy. These harmful microscopic particles are able to travel deeply into the respiratory tract. This could pose an extreme danger on an individual's health. Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter is linked to increased rates deaths resulting from lung cancer, coronary diseases and chronic bronchitis.

A dense and hazardous blanket of smog is right now surrounding parts of Eastern China and Beijing, forcing residents to remain inside their homes, stop classes in some schools and suspend the operation of industrial plants.

A major culprit behind the air pollution problem in the country is the burning of coal for winter heating. China, followed by the United States, is considered to be the biggest producer of greenhouse gas emissions in the world.

Presidents from all over the world congregated during the 2015 Climate Change Summit in Paris and exchanged views regarding ways to control man-made pollutants and how to eliminate the undesirable effects of climate change. China has pledged to cut down by-products for every unit of GDP by 60-65 percent by 2030 in contrast to the 2005 levels, according to Time.
