FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., April 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumileds, a leading lighting solutions company, offers the Philips GoPure GP5212 Automotive Air Purifier for those who suffer from seasonal allergies. Powerful, compact, and simple to use, GoPure GP5212 effectively filters out airborne allergens including pollen and mold that can pass through the cabin filters typically found in vehicles. Standard cabin air filters typically trap particulates of 5-100 microns. The Philips GoPure GP5212 can filter particles as small as .015 microns, including allergens, viruses, and bacteria, as well as toxic gases. The advanced filtering of the GoPure GP5212 helps trap pollen, keeping it out of the eyes and airways of vehicle occupants.

Key Points: 
  • The Philips GoPure GP5212 can filter particles as small as .015 microns, including allergens, viruses, and bacteria, as well as toxic gases.
  • The advanced filtering of the GoPure GP5212 helps trap pollen, keeping it out of the eyes and airways of vehicle occupants.
  • Phillips GoPure GP5212 car air purifier meets a growing demand for clean air solutions.

Tuesday, December 5, 2023

LONDON, Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- American Forests, Woodland Trust, and The Centre for Sustainable Healthcare today unveiled the U.K. Tree Equity Score, a tool from U.S. conservation nonprofit American Forests intended to bring awareness to the inequitable tree cover across 34,000 of its urban neighborhoods — nearly 80% of the population — and the disparities such variance brings.

Key Points: 
  • Tree Equity Score shows what it would take to increase the U.K.'s average urban tree cover to 30%, roughly doubling it.
  • Because trees are essential infrastructure, space and budget for trees should be incorporated into public policy including housing, transportation and health.
  • Retrofitting trees into hard landscapes will be essential to improving Tree Equity in dense cities world wide.
  • American Forests' Tree Equity Score tool has been in use in the United States for two years and is integral to its plans to advance Tree Equity in 100 cities by 2030.

GWANGJU, South Korea, Nov. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The world has become increasingly industrialized over the past few centuries, bringing all sorts of technology and conveniences to the masses. However, workers in industrial environments are often at the risk of exposure to many dangerous gases, such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Inhaling this gas can lead to serious respiratory diseases like asthma and bronchitis, and severely compromise the health of industrial workers. Constant monitoring of NO2 levels is thus needed to ensure a safe workplace.

Key Points: 
  • To help with this, many types of selective gas sensors have been developed using different organic and inorganic materials.
  • Some of them, such as gas chromatography sensors or electrochemical gas sensors, are highly sophisticated, yet expensive and bulky.
  • It was carried out in collaboration with researchers from Jeonbuk National University, including Professor Min Kim.
  • They incorporated a CsPbBr3 perovskite into a conductive polymer matrix to enhance its gas sensing performance while maintaining sensing speed.
