Pollution-Capturing Wall Paint

Pollution-Capturing Wall Paint

Real-World Problem

Air pollution is one of today’s biggest health threats. People breathe in harmful gases and dust every day, leading to respiratory issues, fatigue, and long-term diseases. Current solutions like air purifiers only work indoors, need electricity, and are too costly for large-scale use. But pollution exists everywhere—streets, schools, hospitals, and homes.

Gap in Current Solutions

• Limited reach → Purifiers can’t clean outdoor air.
• High cost → Expensive devices and filters.
• Passive walls → Paint today is decorative, not functional.

Who Benefits?

• Families & Communities → Fresher air in everyday spaces.
• Healthcare Sector → Reduced pollution-related illnesses.
• Environment → Cleaner cities with no extra infrastructure.
• Governments → Affordable tool for tackling air quality.

Why This Matters?

Air pollution directly affects our health and quality of life. Paint is something we already use—so why not make it smarter? If walls could absorb pollutants, every building could silently help us breathe cleaner air, without extra cost or effort.

Innovative Features

1. Pollution-Capturing Formula → Absorbs CO₂ and harmful gases using sunlight.
2. Self-Activating Coating → Photocatalytic compounds convert pollutants into harmless elements.
3. Visual Indicator → Optional color change to show activity or repaint needs.
4. Eco-Friendly Ingredients → Safe, sustainable, durable.

Technical Implementation

• Paint + Photocatalyst Layer → Infused with modified titanium dioxide.
• Sunlight Activation → Natural UV breaks down pollutants.
• Scalable → Works indoors and outdoors like normal paint.

Conclusion

Pollution-Capturing Wall Paint turns walls into air purifiers, absorbing harmful gases using sunlight. Eco-friendly, low-cost, and maintenance-free, it helps families and communities breathe cleaner air effortlessly.

  • This is a smart, practical solution that turns everyday surfaces into active pollution fighters. Using eco-friendly paint to clean the air is innovative, scalable, and could make a real impact on public health without extra infrastructure or costs
  • It's really a good idea
  • A smart and sustainable idea that transforms everyday walls into low-cost, eco-friendly air purifiers for healthier living.
  • A smart solution turning walls into pollution-absorbing surfaces with eco-friendly, sunlight-activated paint, offering low-cost, effortless air purification that benefits families, communities, and the environment.
  • This isn’t just a product, it’s a paradigm shift.

    We’ve spent years fighting air pollution with reactive, high-cost, indoor-only solutions, but pollution never stayed indoors. This idea flips the script: instead of controlling air after it becomes toxic, what if our everyday walls became active defenders? This is just great!!

    For low-income neighborhoods, busy traffic zones, schools, and hospitals this could be a game-changer. Imagine entire city blocks healing the air passively.
  • This is such an innovative way to fight pollution since walls are literally everywhere. The only concern I have is whether the cost of this paint would actually stay affordable for large scale use.
  • The idea is eco-friendly and realistic—definitely something that could make a real difference in everyday life.
