Scientists at the University of Zurich have prepared most water-repelling fibers suitable for clothing. It is made up of polyester fibers coated with millions of tiny silicone filaments.
Silicone nanofilaments are hydrophobic and prevent water to reach inside the polyester layer.

what causes a heatwave?
A heatwave occurs when a system of high atmospheric pressure moves into an area and lasts two or more days. In such a high-pressure system, air from the upper levels of our atmosphere is pulled toward the ground, where it becomes compressed and increases in temperature.

Air Pollution is playing a key role in ozone layer depletion and hence Climate Change. Exhaustive usage of fossil fuels contaminates the air with harmful gases, thus minimizing vision range. But they are also detrimental to living beings.
Clean Air act 1970 was passed in the USA to reduce the increased risk of air pollution.
