Scientists develop lampshade coating to combat indoor air pollutants

A lampshade coated with a catalyst uses heat from an incandescent bulb to reduce indoor air pollution. Courtesy of Yonsei University By Holly ChikScientists in Korea developed a coating that can be sprayed or pasted onto existing lampshades to clean up air pollutants at home, in offices and in factories.The team uses the typically wasted heat from light bulbs to activate a catalyst that turns pollutants from furniture, paint and cooking into harmless compounds, according to the study by researchers at Yonsei University, Pohang University of Science and Technology and the Korea Institute of Energy Technology.While this technology has been proven to work with halogen and incandescent light bulbs, which are traditional lamps that emit a lot of heat as they light up and are less energy efficient, the researchers said that they are expanding their study onto LED bulbs.Indoor environments contain substances that might be harmful, such as formaldehyde, a chemical used in m
