Coatings that self clean surfaces are being developed for commercial applications. Australian researchers have developed new particles that absorb UV light, creating oxidizing properties stronger than commercial bleach. When applied to surfaces, these coatings create a self-cleaning, germ-free environment. While very useful in hospitals, will widespread use of high tech materials create unforeseen environmental problems?
