A diffusive air purifier includes an air permeable container containing a chemical sorbent or a sorbent precursor. The sorbent has a chemical composition selected to achieve removal of an air pollutant via a chemical reaction that renders the predetermined air pollutant immobile. A method of manufacturing the diffusive air purifier includes impregnating a porous solid with a solution of sorbent precursor and a binding agent and drying the porous solid. A method of purifying indoor air includes detecting a measured concentration of an airborne chemical in an enclosed location; selecting the diffusive air purifier to adsorb the airborne chemical; and placing the diffusive air purifier in the enclosed location. Air diffuses through the outer container and into the sorbent where the chemical to be removed is retained. Air, free of the target chemical, diffuses out of the container and the process repeats.

A method of purifying air polluted by smoke and fumes, such as from wildfires and other hazard, may deploy a series of fluid filled vessels that act as filters to trap and/or neutralize components that would foul an aqueous suspension of gold nanoparticles that is effective in converting toxic carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. Non-toxic fluids may be used. As the gold nanoparticles are effective in a basic solution, the solution may contain a visible pH indicator or an apparatus that deploys the method may continuously monitor the pH thereof.

An air purifying coating system and method for making same having a carrier agent and a diatomic frustule particle dispersion combined with the carrier agent. The diatomic frustule particle dispersion may include diatomic frustule zinc oxide particles, diatomic frustule titanium dioxide particles, or combinations thereof. The coating system may include 70-99.9 weight percent carrier agent and 0.1-30 weight percent diatomic frustule particle dispersion. The carrier agent of the coating system may include a cleaning agent or a polishing agent. The diatomic frustule particle dispersion may include 1-35 micron particle size diatomic frustule particles combined with water and dispersion additive. The dispersion may further include an anti-settling additive, a rheology additive, and/or or a defoamer.
