Innovations in technology continue to significantly impact both business and society. Emerging markets are increasingly becoming centers of innovation, particularly in efforts to cater to the expanding middle-class and low-income consumers worldwide. Nanotechnology has seen significant advancements in the past decade, particularly in the realm of indoor air quality (IAQ) control. Intellectual capital has fostered innovation in organizations, propelling industrial growth. Many scientific breakthroughs are driven by collaborations between industry and academia. A notable collaboration involves air purification industries in the United States and the United Kingdom working with West Texas A&M University. We have developed, modified, and adopted Advanced Hydrated Photocatalytic Oxidation (AHPCO) and plasma nanotechnology. The company Air For Life (UK) adopted this technology and renamed it AFLPCO nanotechnology. These nanotechnologies have been employed to create air purification systems that reduce indoor aeroallergens, improve air quality, and enhance food preservation. Plasma nanotechnology has also been used to sterilize icemakers. This novel system generates redundant oxidizers that efficiently clean the air, targeting and neutralizing particulate matter (PM) on surfaces. Microbial populations in the air and on equipment surfaces can be controlled using this technology. It has proven effective in reducing particulate matter and indoor volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as well as controlling methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). We also described the use of silver nanoparticles in the new generation face masks to prevent against contagious diseases.
