What Role Does Nanotechnology Play in Respiratory Disease Prevention?
Prevention is always better than cure, and nanotechnology is contributing to this aspect as well. Nanofilters in air purification systems can effectively remove airborne pollutants, allergens, and pathogens, reducing the risk of respiratory diseases. These filters use nanofibers with high surface area and porosity, which can capture particles as small as viruses and bacteria. Additionally, nanocoatings can be applied to surfaces to provide long-lasting antimicrobial protection, preventing the spread of infections in healthcare settings and public spaces.
