Why Clean AIR matters The brain is highly oxygen-dependent, consuming about 20% of the body’s oxygen supply despite being only about 2% of total body weight. Here’s how oxygen, or the lack of it, affects the brain’s neural network: 1. Oxygen and Brain Function 2. Effects of Oxygen Deprivation (Hypoxia) on the Brain When oxygen…

Mold is a silent but dangerous intruder in Canadian homes and buildings. Recent studies indicate that nearly 50% of homes in Canada show signs of dampness and mold, creating a significant health hazard for residents. With 16.9 million households, that’s almost 8.45 million homes being at risk. Clearly the regular paint and coatings we put…

Oxidation in Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) is a powerful mechanism for eliminating air pollution, particularly through photocatalytic oxidation. This process leverages the unique properties of ZnO-NPs to break down harmful pollutants into less toxic or non-toxic substances. Here’s a detailed explanation of how oxidation in ZnO-NPs helps eliminate air pollution: 1. Photocatalytic Oxidation Mechanism ZnO-NPs are semiconductor materials…
