A method of and apparatus for treating a gas to remove foreign constituents from the gas by inducing flow of the gas through and inflatable treatment chamber constructed of a thin plastic film in a manner such as to effect inflation of the chamber by gas pressure, and washing, drying, and or otherwise treating the gas during its flow through the chamber to remove the foreign constituents for the gas. Primary applications of the invention involve the treatment of atmospheric air to remove therefrom dust, smog, fog, and or other foreign constituents. In these primary applications, the inflatable treatment chamber may be installed on level ground, on building tops, in natural or artificial ravines, such as washes or storm drains, or in natural or artificial tunnels, such as sewer tunnels having openings to the atmosphere.
