Article Synopsis
- Scientists are working on a new air cleaning technology called Advanced Photohydrolysis that can remove harmful germs and pollutants from the air.
- In a study, mice were exposed to this technology for 90 days to check if it was safe for them.
- The results showed that the mice were healthy with no harmful effects, which suggests that Advanced Photohydrolysis is safe and could be used in indoor spaces to help clean the air.

Article Synopsis
- Hospitals face high risks of infections due to contamination, and this study investigates a new technology called advanced photohydrolysis for continuous disinfection.
- The research found that this technology significantly reduced harmful bacteria and fungi on surfaces, floors, and in the air, with up to 98% reduction in colony-forming units (CFUs) at two different hospital locations.
- The study highlights that ongoing use of this disinfection method could lead to fewer healthcare-associated infections, making it a promising solution for maintaining cleaner hospital environments.
