Pollution-Detecting Shirts


These shirts sold by aerochromics alert their wearers to the presence of dangerous levels of pollution by changing color. They go for $500 a shirt. There are three styles to choose from that differ in pattern and what they react to — either carbon monoxide, radiation, or "particle pollution."

So if you get the carbon monoxide or radiation-detecting shirt, how exactly do you test that it really works — without putting yourself in a life-threatening situation?

For the test, you buy two and assume they are equally reliable. Put one on somebody else, trick him into an area of high CO or radiation, and see if it warns him in time. Voilà!

(What you actually do is buy a certified meter from an established manufacturer, although you may not like the styling as much.)
