The Science Behind Air Purification

Our students have explored an innovative and eco-friendly way to purify air using cotton, charcoal, and grass. Their project demonstrated how simple, natural materials can help remove pollutants and improve air quality.

Cotton – The First Line of Defense
Acts as a filter, trapping dust, pollen, and dirt to prevent respiratory issues.

Charcoal – The Toxin Absorber
Absorbs harmful gases and odors, ensuring cleaner and fresher air.

Grass – The Natural Air Enhancer
Releases oxygen and maintains humidity, making the air healthier to breathe.

Through this project, students have shown how natural air purification can be an effective solution to everyday pollution challenges. Their efforts highlight the importance of using sustainable methods to create a cleaner and healthier environment for all.
