Codikoat: Harnessing nanoparticle array technology for the removal of domestic atmospheric pollutants

Codikoat开发了一种新型过滤材料（Codivent），可有效去除大气中的有害小颗粒和有毒气体。在室内空间，它可以从空气中去除超过99.9%的氮氧化物（NOx -已知会导致人类呼吸问题的有害气体）。像NOx这样的气体是在家里做饭等活动中产生的，可以从外面进入。这意味着室内的空气往往比室外污染更严重。Codivent足够薄，可以安装到需要过滤器的现有家用电器中，如通风系统和抽油烟机。在这个项目中，我们将与这些产品的知名制造商（Vent-Axia和Miele）合作，开发可以安装到他们的设备中的Codivent原型。我们将在真实的家庭环境中确定Codivent在清除已知会导致健康问题的三种不同有害污染物（NOx、SO2和小颗粒物）方面的有效性。项目的成功将使推出一个负担得起的，易于安装的过滤器，可以显着降低室内污染空气的危害风险。

Codikoat have developed a novel filter material (Codivent) which is effective at removing both harmful small particles and poisonous gasses from the atmosphere. In an indoor space it can remove over 99.9% of nitrogen oxides (NOx - harmful gasses known to cause respiratory problems in humans) from the air. Gasses like NOx are produced in the home from activities such as cooking, and can enter from outside. It means that the air within a home is often more polluted than outside. Codivent is thin enough to be fitted into existing household appliances which require filters, such as ventilation systems and cooker hoods. During this project we will work with well known manufacturers of such products (Vent-Axia and Miele) to develop prototypes of Codivent that can fit into their appliances. We will establish the efficacy of Codivent at removing three different harmful pollutants (NOx, SO2 and small particles), known to cause health problems, in real world, domestic settings. Project success will enable the roll out of an affordable, easy to fit filter which can significantly reduce the risk of harm from polluted air within the home.
