the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Center for Biomolecular
Science and Engineering, is making materials that capture entire classes
of contaminants, then break them down into something harmless. Her
technology is stable and can be used for clothing, air filters, or even
coated on windows and vehicles.
Today's filters are carbon—like in your water pitcher at home, or in military suits and gas masks. Carbon is great at capturing and holding contaminants—but they're still there.
U.S. Marines moved in on Baghdad in 2003, they were wearing hot, unbreathable, full-body suits day and night. When they were finally able to take off their Mission Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) gear, you can imagine how it felt to have air circulation for the first time in weeks—and then you can just imagine the smell.

industry
could use such filters to reduce ammonia smells in hospitals and improve air
quality around industrial process. Air
purification technology could be in the ductwork of the building, it could be
on stack gases for exhaust from industrial processes.
Because
her material also works when wet, You can capture the organics out of
your waste stream and make your water safe.

Because her material also works when wet, "You can capture the organics out of your waste stream and make your water safe." She's already proven, with perchlorate, that she could help industry and federal agencies monitor and cleanup water pollutants.
