The Daily GOOD: Pollution Detecting Clothing Is Here

Your one-good- thing-a-day email JANUARY 24, 2011 BROUGHT TO YOU BY Pollution Detecting Clothing Is Here Leave it to a duo stuck on the fashionable yet smoggy island of Manhattan to come up with the first clothing line that can help you breathe easier. Nien Lam and Sue Ngo, two graduate students in NYU's interactive telecommunications program, said they wanted to make a statement about air pollution while also remaining conscious of fashion. Drawing inspiration from the Hypercolor T-shirts of yore, the "Warning Signs" line was born. There are currently just two shirts, one emblazoned with a heart and the other emblazoned with a pair of lungs. The organs have blue veins that glow when in contact with high levels of carbon monoxide. Next up, says Ngo, is alcohol sensing clothing whose liver lights up when you get too drunk. See a video of one of the Warning Signs shirts here. Read and discuss Share on Facebook Tweet this Email to a friend Subscribe to the Daily GOOD DID YOU KNOW? 45,889 people get the Daily GOOD.
