Smog-Absorbing Clothing Technology Promises Cleaner Air

Researchers at the Catalytic Clothing project have been developing an air-pollution-fighting laundry detergent designed to coat clothing with titanium dioxide nanoparticles. Based on the same technology that has been used in creating smog-consuming buildings and roads, the clothing with the nanoparticles absorbs smog from the surrounding air and transforms it into an environment-neutral byproduct. The detergent is currently in development with a leading laundry product manufacturer.
