一罐罐的“秦嶺富氧空氣”日前在陝西省省會西安市出售。一罐7升裝的壓縮空氣售價爲18元（約合2.85美元）。

Xiao, a customer who was a post-90's, said: "I bought one earlier. The air coming out was fresh and smelled like forest. My friends said they also want some, so here I am again."

90後顧客肖某表示：“我之前我買過一罐。噴出來的空氣確實非常新鮮，有森林的味道。我的朋友們說他們也想要一些，所以我又來了。”

"How long it will last per bottle?" a customer surnamed Liu asked.

一位姓劉的顧客問：“這一罐空氣能用多久？”

The shop assistant replied that the bottles could be used either by sprays or pressing endurance. So the time of a bottle may be used for either around 50 sprays or two minutes of pressing.

店鋪的服務員回覆稱，該氣罐有兩種使用方法，按一次噴一次或者一次持續噴。按一次噴一次的話可用大約50次；若一次持續噴，可以用2分鐘。

According to the introduction printed on the bottle, the air was collected from Pingheliang of the Qinling Mountains, a national natural reserve for giant pandas.

根據罐體上的介紹，氣源地爲秦嶺平河梁，這裏是以保護大熊貓爲主的國家級自然保護區。

Liu Changrong, head of local forestry bureau said that the idea of selling air first came to their mind about one year ago, when the smog in Xi'an was severe.

據當地林業局局長劉長榮介紹，在一年多以前西安霧霾嚴重的時候，他們就有了賣空氣的想法。

After investigation, the bureau built an assembly line to produce bottled air with about 300,000 yuan ($44,117 USD).

經過前期考察，該林業局投入三十萬元（約44117美元），建成了一條灌裝空氣生產線。

It is learned that fresh air sold in bottles of similar size is priced at about 60 yuan ($9.5 USD) domestically, and over 100 yuan ($15.8 USD) abroad. But the Qinling Air sells at only 18 yuan.

據介紹，國內同規格包裝的新鮮空氣，售價在60元（約9.5美元）左右，國外在100多元（約15.8美元）。秦嶺富氧空氣一罐7升裝售價僅18元。

"The cost is about 10 yuan, mainly composed of labor, transportation and packaging fees. The retailing process also costs. We make about two or three yuan per bottle," said Liu Changrong.

劉長榮表示：“成本大概10元左右，主要是人工費、運輸費和包裝氣罐。再加上銷售環節的分成，一罐空氣能賺兩、三元錢。”
