What Pollutants Can Be Detected Using Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology-based sensors can detect a wide range of air pollutants, including:
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): These are emitted from various industrial processes and household products. - Particulate Matter (PM): Including PM2.5 and PM10, which are tiny particles that can penetrate the respiratory system. - Gaseous Pollutants: Such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and ozone (O3).
