Inventing jeans helps clean the air
Most jeans are now blue, however, in the future, they may be green.
Every year, at least 1.3 million people worldwide die due to poor air quality.
A chemist and fashion designer, Ms. Hellen Storey, had an idea of designing environmentally friendly jeans that removed harmful gases from the air.
The jeans will be coated with titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide will react with light and air to neutralize nitrogen oxides (nitrous oxide) - pollutants emitted by vehicles and factories. Nitrate in sewage washing these pants is harmless to the environment.
These jeans will help our planet 'greener' when people wear them everyday and travel around.
Eco-friendly jeans have been tested and show that it has absolutely no side effects on human skin or negatively affects water. This product can be marketed within the next two years.
Professor Ryan said : 'If thousands of people use this product, it can help improve air quality'.
Storey is famous for its strange and unique designs. But Storey began to care about science since 2004 through her sister, a biologist, and began working in science when she met Professor Ryan.
Helen Storey is a professor at London Fashion Design University and Professor Tony Ryan from Sheffield University. These two creative and environmental professors used to recycle waste plastic into a new plastic that is soft, thin, and smooth. Not only that, this plastic is capable of . dissolving in water, and this water can take away . watering plants.
