IIT Madras Develops New Surface Coating to Combat Delhi Air Pollution

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras have developed a novel surface coating that shows promise in mitigating air pollution, particularly in heavily polluted cities like Delhi. The coating, developed by a team led by Professor Ashok Kumar, is designed to capture harmful pollutants from the air, effectively reducing their concentration. The researchers are currently testing the effectiveness of the coating in controlled environments and hope to eventually implement it on a larger scale to improve air quality in Delhi and other urban centers.
