Smog-eating mural

In honor of California Clean Air Day, UCR’s Office of Sustainability, R'Garden, Metrolink, and the City of Riverside hosted a day-long painting event on Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2023 alongside Riverside muralist Ekaterina Orlovie. Students, staff, faculty, and community members painted this “smog-eating” mural using paint with Photio, a paint additive that helps transform surfaces into air purifying agents. (UCR/Stan Lim)
