Traditional air filtration systems often rely on physical barriers to capture pollutants. Nanotechnology introduces nanofibers and nanomaterials that provide several advantages:
Higher Efficiency: Nanoscale filters can capture much smaller particles, including viruses, bacteria, and nanoparticles that conventional filters miss. Increased Surface Area: Nanofibers have a high surface area-to-volume ratio, enhancing their capacity to trap airborne contaminants. Functionalization: Nanomaterials can be functionalized with antimicrobial agents or other chemicals to degrade pollutants.
