Published March 30 2020, 185 pages, 18 tables, 25 figures

Innovation in the global filtration market has increased considerably in recent years. Social needs for cleanliness, health and comfort are rising. There is an increasing demand for air filters with a high collection performance for indoor and outdoor air cleaning as well as waste gas treatment. Indoor air contaminants, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), microorganisms, allergens, and other pollutants (e.g., tobacco smoke) pose serious health- and productivity-related problems for occupants of indoor spaces.

The importance of improved water disinfection and microbial control cannot be overstated, and there is a huge market need for decentralized/point-of-use water treatment and reuse systems. With increasing instances of pollution both above and underground, the need for technological advances to treat water becomes even more pressing.water filtration Advanced materials are contributing greatly to applications such as desalination, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, and microfiltration.

Various advanced filter technologies have been developed for enhanced healthcare and improving comfort, as well as industrial applications. Advanced materials have the clear potential to greatly benefit environmental quality and sustainability, through pollution prevention, water treatment and remediation. Benefits include the improved detection and sensing of contaminants and pollution and their safe removal and filtration from air, water and soil, at a greatly reduced cost in comparison to existing technologies.
