宜家的窗帘可以净化空气！

Air pollution within the home causes 3.8 million deaths a year, according to the World Health Organization.

根据世界卫生组织的数据，家庭空气污染每年导致380万人死亡。

A recent University of Colorado in Boulder study reported by The Guardian found that cooking a full Thanksgiving meal could raise levels of particulate matter 2.5 in the house higher than the levels averaged in New Delhi, the world's sixth most polluted city.

据《卫报》报道，科罗拉多大学博尔德分校最近的一项研究发现，烹制一顿丰盛的感恩节大餐可能会让室内的PM2.5水平升高到高于全球第六大污染城市新德里的平均水平。

But soon, you will be able to shop for a solution in the same place you buy your budget roasting pans. IKEA is working on a specially-designed, air-purifying curtain called the GUNRID.

但是很快，你就能在你购买廉价烤盘的地方买到解决方案了。宜家正在设计一种特别设计的空气净化窗帘，名为GUNRID。

"Besides enabling people to breathe better air at home, we hope that GUNRID will increase people's awareness of indoor air pollution, inspiring behavioural changes that contribute to a world of clean air," Inter IKEA Group Head of Sustainability Lena Pripp-Kovac said in a Monday press release.

宜家集团可持续发展主管莉娜·普里普-科瓦奇在周一的新闻发布会上说：“除了能让人们在家里呼吸到更好的空气外，我们还希望GUNRID能够提高人们对室内空气污染的意识，促使人们改变行为习惯，创造一个空气清洁的世界。”

The GUNRID's powers are enabled by a mineral treatment that allows it to mimic photosynthesis: breaking down harmful chemicals when exposed to either natural or artificial light.

GUNRID的能力来源于一种矿物处理方法，使其能模拟光合作用：在自然光或人造光的照射下分解有害的化学物质。

IKEA worked with European and Asian universities to develop the technology over the past few years.

在过去的几年里，宜家与欧洲和亚洲的几所大学合作开发了这项技术。

IKEA says that its "mineral-based photocatalyst" is different from other models because it responds to indoor light, Fast Company reported.

据《快速公司》杂志报道，宜家表示其“基于矿物的光催化剂”不同于其他的模型，因为它会对室内光线做出反应。

"Successful laboratory tests have been carried out to ensure that the photocatalyst coating works and that it is safe," IKEA said, according to Fast Company. "The next step is chamber tests and home tests to confirm that GUNRID efficiently removes volatile organic compounds in a room."

据《快速公司》报道，宜家表示：“已经进行了成功的实验室测试，以确保光催化剂涂层能够起作用，并且是安全的。下一步是室内测试和家庭测试，确认GUNRID能有效地去除房间里的挥发性有机化合物。”
