BEIJING: Who says construction can’t be clean or stylish? A giant inflatable dome has been erected over a construction site in eastern China, in what may be the country’s puffiest solution yet to keeping dust and noise pollution down.

According to Times Now News – an English-language news outlet based in India – which reported on the project on July 3, the dome is the first of its kind in China and uses negative pressure and air filtration systems to prevent dust from escaping into nearby areas.
