Abstract

The interaction between ozone and clothing worn by individuals has significant implications for indoor air quality and human health. When clothing is worn, it accumulates various compounds, including sweat, skin oils, and laundry detergents, which can react with ozone present in indoor environments. This interaction leads to the formation of nanocluster aerosols, submicron particles capable of penetrating deep into the respiratory system. Understanding the factors influencing the formation of these aerosols is essential for mitigating potential health risks and improving indoor air quality. This article explores the process of nanocluster aerosol formation through ozone chemistry on used garments and investigates the impact of environmental factors on this phenomenon. By elucidating the mechanisms of aerosol formation and identifying key environmental parameters, researchers can develop strategies to minimize exposure and ensure healthier indoor environments.
