In addition, the use of the paint on the walls will ensure that the air is cleaned of volatile organic pollutants or NOx (harmful nitrogen oxides).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read more: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pg.edu.pl\/aktualnosci\/2023-01\/magnetyczna-farba-ktora-ochroni-przed-patogenami-i-sama-sie-oczysci\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/pg.edu.pl\/aktualnosci\/2023-01\/magnetyczna-farba-ktora-ochroni-przed-patogenami-i-sama-sie-oczysci<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Izabela Malinowska, a doctoral student at the Gdansk University of Technology, has developed a paint and putty with self-cleaning, biocidal and magnetic properties.
