Factor 3. SCIENCE OF CATALYTIC CLOTHING
Catalytic clothing is a collaborative project between, Helen Storey and scientist Tony Ryan. It is a radical project.
The catalytic project is designed to absorb pollution and harmful gases and then exert clean air into the atmosphere in the hopes to provide a healthier living. It does this by using nano particles of titanium dioxide which breaks down the pollutants. The chemical is a photocatalyst which works when light reacts with the particles.
The Field of Jeans exists at Tallis as it promotes things that help the environment through art installations. It is there to clean the air outside of our school as it can get busy during school times.
The field of jeans links to the ‘Art as protest’ factor as it is there as a protest because business won’t buy into it as hey can’t make a profit from it. So it could be there as a kind of reminder to think about the environment before money. It also links to ‘Environmental concerns’ as its main purpose is help the environment.
This relates to us as we wear jeans so it makes us consider putting the chemical on our own clothes.

1. Describe the factor? Photo catalysts put in clothing which break down pollutants in the air.
2. This helps me to understand catalyst clothing, as it helps me to learn how the field of jeans and how catalyst clothing works. The field of jeans exists to try and break down harmful pollutants in the air by using photo catalysts, which use energy to break down pollutants such as NOx (nitrogen oxides) and TiO2 (titanium dioxide).
3. This links with Helen Storey as she works directly with scientists (such as Tony Ryan) to try and institute this idea on a global basis and get larger companies to take part with putting this into all clothing. This also links with the mass production of denim as they want to put this into all clothing such as jeans. This also links to environmental concerns as it could help the break down the harmful pollutants that cause these environmental concerns.
4. This affects me as it will create a cleaner world for my future and also for future generations and could stop the ever growing problem of pollution.
