Air
What could be more precious than the air we breathe? The WHO estimates 7 million people die every year from air pollution, and 9 out of 10 people breath air containing high levels of pollutants. No wonder face-masks have become a common sight in Asian cities. The craziest part is that air pollution impacts are all totally preventable. The quickest and most scalable solution is renewable electrification – of grids, lighting, cooking, cars and industrial processes. In future, there will also be more high-tech solutions, like Graphene Flagship’s smog-eating photocatalytic coatings for pavements and walls, which passively remove air pollutants.
