Air born pollen grains and household things cause many allergic diseases manifested as Asthma or skin or eye diseases. Airborne allergens at home like dust mites, fungal spores, and pollen are a major menace and those who suffer because of them may soon get a chance to fight them off. Scientists at the University of Liverpool in the UK are in the process of developing a novel device that uses cold plasma technology to tackle the problem of airborne allergens in the house.
Cold plasma is a form of ionized gas where energetic electrons and ions coexist alongside a wide variety of highly reactive chemical compounds. The technology only requires air and electricity to operate, typically using ten times less power than a household light bulb. It is an emerging technology and its application is being explored across a number of sectors including the food industry, manufacturing, and…
