Environmental monitoring has traditionally relied on snapshots of exposure from a water sample collected on a single day, a blood sample drawn at one point in time, or soil tested from a specific location. But exposure unfolds gradually as people move through different environments and come into contact with air, dust, and surfaces throughout the day.

This is the one and only paint that's on the market that's designed to actually absorb moisture. If you take Lilypad paint and apply it to the wall, the film will actually absorb excess humidity as it starts filling the room, and then, when it dries, it resets itself by slowly letting it back into the space. So it's regulating humidity, Dr. Stein said.

1 month agoThis paint acts like a dehumidifier for your walls
It looks like ordinary paint, but a new coating called Lilypad Paint has a hidden ability to pull moisture out of the air. It works like a dehumidifier, without the energy use. If it's on the wall in your bathroom, it can suck water vapor out of the air after you've taken a shower. The paint holds the humidity in nano-size pores, and then slowly releases it as humidity levels fall in the room.
