Boiling orange peels with cinnamon releases bioactive compounds with antimicrobial, antioxidant, and potential cognitive benefits, suggesting a natural, low-cost way to improve indoor air quality and support health, though more research is needed for definitive health claims.
Scientists have discovered that using safe, less intense UV light can quickly inactivate airborne allergy proteins, offering a promising new method to reduce allergens in indoor environments and potentially save lives, especially for allergy sufferers and asthma patients.
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have developed a method called the Methane Eradication Photochemical System (MEPS) that can remove methane from air. The method involves using chlorine and UV light to accelerate the degradation process of methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas. The researchers have successfully eliminated 58% of methane from air using their reaction chamber and have improved the results to 88%. This technology could be implemented in livestock barns, biogas production plants, and wastewater treatment plants to reduce methane emissions and combat climate change.
The Dyson Zone noise-cancelling and air-purifying headphones, priced at $949, were put to the test on a 6-hour flight from New York to California. While the cool airflow and sound quality were enjoyable, the bulkiness and battery life struggles made it impractical for air travel. The headphones are not worth the hassle unless there is more room at the seat and guaranteed outlet access.
