Anti-smog jacket and no-cold-or-flu dress

Cornell design student Olivia Ong has designed a couple of garments made with material that protect the wearer from air pollution and viruses.

Working in collaboration with Cornell fiber scientists two of her garments were treated with metallic nanoparticles enabling a dress that prevents colds/flu (plus it doesn't need to be washed), as well as a jacket that destroys noxious gases and protects the person from smog.
