Study on the adsorption capacity of traffic exhaust gases by a material composed of car dust filter membranes and graphene

Abstract

Traffic dust is a toxic compound that, when exposed to humans over prolonged periods, can easily cause skin irritation, respiratory issues, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and can impair the function of the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system, potentially leading to cancer. Currently, materials (air conditioner filters) primarily serve the purpose of filtering dust of specific sizes. This paper presents the results of a study on the ability of a material, created from car air filter membranes and supplemented with graphene, to adsorb traffic exhaust gases. The results indicate that the material can almost completely prevent traffic dust from entering the car without affecting the airflow inside.
