How Does Nanotechnology Contribute to Air Quality Improvement?
Improving air quality is another area where nanotechnology shows great promise. Nanoparticles can be employed in air filtration systems to trap airborne pollutants more effectively than conventional filters. Photocatalytic nanomaterials, like titanium dioxide, can be used to break down harmful pollutants in the air when exposed to light. This technology can be applied to urban settings to reduce smog and improve overall air quality.
