The key to nanotechnology-based odor control lies in the unique properties of nanomaterials. These materials have a high surface area to volume ratio, enabling them to interact with odor-causing molecules more effectively. For instance, silver nanoparticles exhibit strong antimicrobial properties, which can eliminate bacteria responsible for bad smells. Similarly, titanium dioxide nanoparticles can break down organic compounds through photocatalysis, effectively neutralizing odors.
