Atmospheric Conversion Centers are large facilities that "suck in air, treat it, then belch it back out".
They are supposed to deal with the steady increase of toxins in the atmosphere of Oni's world (BioCrisis).
Every major city has its air cleaned by one or several such facilities.

Distance to cities
I've always wanted to know how close the ACCs could be to a city's center/suburbs. A few considerations :
- It doesn't make sense to place an ACC too far away and in a Wilderness Preserve (too much decontaminating work)
- If they're too close, however, you end up with toxic waste (the product of decontamination) right next to a city...
- So it's a sort of compromise : in some cases, it may not be possible to find a suitable spot for an ACC "far enough"...
- Also, selectively sucking in "dirty" air is more efficient if it's all around you. So, definitely a compromise.
- In any case, the ACC can provide enough clean air to its staff (even if it's in the middle of a contaminated zone)
- Most of the clean air is not set free, but pumped through massive "lines" such as the one seen at the end of CHAPTER 08 . AN INNOCENT LIFE
- Most of Oni's data seem to place the ACCs far away from the city and in the middle of a polluted environment (there's actually some ambiguity between the ACCs and the "Wilderness Preserve" cover-up).
- The only evidence towards the ACCs being close to human activity are the street sounds (police sirens, car horns) overheard in CHAPTER 07 . A FRIEND IN NEED.
