Story summary
- Scented chemical products release tiny nanoparticles, even smaller than 3 nanometers, rivaling emissions from gas stoves and car engines. In just 20 minutes, these particles can flood the respiratory system with up to 10 trillion particles. At Purdue's tiny house lab, researchers are collaborating with industry partners to develop advanced air quality instruments, aiming to enhance our understanding of indoor air safety.
