STANFORD (CBS SF) A team of researchers at Stanford University have developed material for a window screen that could help people in areaswith high amounts of air pollution breathe easier.

According to the Wall Street Journal, materials science and engineering professor Yi Cui and his team have developed material for the highly-efficient air filter using nanotechnology.

Cui told the Journal that he was inspired to create the filter during visits to China, his homeland. So I come by and have the motivation to think about what we can do to remove those particles. Thats what an engineer likes to do, to solve problems, he said.

Air pollution has long been anissue in China. A recent documentary on the countrys smog called Under The Dome has gone viral, netting more than 180 million views before being censored by the Chinese government.

The professor and his team used a material common in surgical gloves and turned it into a spider-like fiber much thinner than a human hair. The fiber was made into a filter that was able to capture 99 percent of the particles.

Cui said they hope the material can be used for window screens or air filter masks.

If youre like some people (ahem) who put up window treatments and never give them a second thought, even as dust accumulates, this might just be the season to pay them a little respect.

No need to stress out about adding another task to your spring-cleaning to-do list: You dont have to clean curtains, shades and the windows themselves THAT often. And many times, its not that difficult.

In our experience, the windows and window treatments are something that people avoid cleaning because theyre not entirely sure the best way to do it, says Betsy Goldberg, home director of Real Simple magazine.

Its not hard, she adds. It just takes a little bit of time.

If simply removing dirt isnt reason enough to clean, consider that dust can dull the fabric of curtains and shades. Household odours can linger. And washing helps preserve the fabric, especially for window treatments that get a daily dose of sunshine, says Tammy Kupernik of retailer Country Curtains.

If you dont wash them, the sun will break down the threads, she says.

Washing them keeps the colours bright, it keeps the threads soft and it does add to the life of the curtain.

Window treatments should be cleaned once or twice a year, experts say, and the best method varies by material. Some can be refreshed in the washer or cleaned with a vacuum, while others may require a pro.

Start by reading the care tag or directions that came with the product: Some items are dry clean only. If the instructions are unavailable, experts offer general guidelines:

Spring cleaning checklist dont forget your windows, window coverings

A window washer fell from scaffolding and plummeted five floors to his death in Tribeca, authorities said.

The victim, who sources said was not wearing a harness at the time of the fatal accident, fell from a building at Greenwich and Jay streets at 1:10 p.m. Tuesday and landed in front of the high-end rug store Carini Lang.

He was sitting outside the window, and just holding on with his left hand while cleaning the window with his right hand, said Edin Arias, 39, a carpenter who was working in the area.

When I saw him he wasnt wearing no harness nothing to get him safe, nothing to keep them safe, Arias said.

I was surprised he wasnt wearing any safety equipment, said John Cataneo, who works as a plumber and witnessed the fatal plunge. Any kind of contracting activity like that you have to take your safety equipment seriously and make sure you have got it and its in good working condition.

The victim, who has not been identified, was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

There was a woman standing in front of me with a stroller and she started screaming, A man fell, call 911! I didnt get too close but I saw his head was on the snow, the witness, who refused to be identified, explained.

Forgotten items on the spring-cleaning to-do list: windows, window treatments

Germs. You cant get away from the blighters. If its not the teeming populations of camplylobacter that infest the cavities of supermarket chicken, its the E coli, salmonella and worse that disport themselves on our towels and dishcloths.

Against these regiments of invisible enemies we deploy a vast arsenal of weapons-grade cleaning products. But while were spraying our surfaces with bleach and washing our dishes in Eucalyptus detergent, a shaming 60-odd per cent of us neglect to wash our hands after weve visited the loo, according to a Rentokil survey.

While confirming my conviction that youre better off eating dinner at home, where at least the bugs are mostly familiar, this news has made me reflect on my own handwashing habits which are, I realise, completely perverse.

At home in London, I carry on like Lady Macbeth, washing my hands dozens of times a day. But at weekends, in the stableyard, I find myself cheerfully eating a sandwich from an unwashed hand that moments ago was feeding a horse a mint.

Ive no idea whether it is my scrupulous townie cleanliness or my robust rural exposure to pathogens that means Im almost never ill. But either way I view with misgiving Rentokils proposed solution to the handwashing recidivists. Stewart Power, its marketing director, predicts that one day every washroom will have a monitoring system to give us a nudge to wash our hands.

Its bad enough being nagged by an electronic voice about an unexplained item in the bagging area. Just imagine the irritation of being slut-shamed by a disembodied nanny in the loo door.

Wash your hands? That's what townies do

Gusina Tremblay was looking out a window of the federal courthouse in South Boston on July 10, 2013, during a break from her service as a juror on the trial of mobster James Whitey Bulger, when a police motorcade delivered Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to his arraignment.

I said to the others, I absolutely could not be on that jury, Tremblay, a mother of four who works part time cleaning and running errands for elderly shut-ins, told the Herald. At least I didnt know the whole story of Whitey Bulger. Theyre going into this knowing exactly what happened and its going to be very emotional. This ones going to be a tough one.

Tomorrow, 18 people just like Tremblay will be chosen to occupy a jury box in Courtroom 9 of U.S. District Court for what is expected to be a four-month trial, at the end of which 12 of them could be asked to decide whether the 21-year-old Tsarnaev lives or dies for the murders of 8-year-old Martin Richard, Krystle Marie Campbell, Lingzi Lu and MIT police officer Sean Collier.

A Bulger juror from Brockton, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said theres only one way for Tsarnaevs jurors to cope: Just go through it. Thats what I did, he said. Im glad I had the experience, but at the same time, it was tough. The films, the testimony ... I think Ive moved on. Im a Christian and thats my foundation. I know whos in charge.

I dont think theres any way to prepare yourself. I thought I was prepared, Tremblay said when asked what she would tell Tsarnaev jurors based on her experience of being subjected daily to images and descriptions of Bulgers gangland slayings and tortures for weeks on end. Federal prosecutors have repeatedly told prospective Tsarnaev jurors they need to be able to handle gruesome pictures and video from the April 15, 2013, attack on Boylston Street. Tremblay said prosecutors did not forewarn her what to expect during Bulgers two-month trial.

Im different. I think a lot changed for me. I dont know how to define it, the Kansas native said, tearing up. I dont think people realize how traumatic it was to sit through. Sometimes I felt like I was in a movie or watching a movie, and I knew I was playing a pretty big role.

Judge George A. OToole Jr. has not disclosed how many provisionally qualified jurors have been called back from a process that began Jan. 5 with 1,373 possibilities. Tomorrows final selection proceeding marks day 25 in Tsarnaevs case.
