Aerochromics has designed a line of ‘smart’ shirts that change its color when detected with air pollutants. Yes, you read it right. The shirt changes its colors. As much as fun and exciting this ‘color shift’ is, the mechanism of the shift is very complicated.
The company has designed three shirts of different working patterns for different environmental pollutants. The three pollutants are particle pollutants, carbon monoxide, and radioactivity.
All the shirts have two small sensors, one on the front and one on the back. For instance, if the shirt comes in contact with particle pollution, the shirt activates heat pads. These pads change the white dots to black. In another case, if the shirt detects carbon-monoxide, this chemical reacts with the chemicals in the shirt’s dye turning the black stripes white.
