  3. Health and environmental effects of battery electric cars

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_and_environmental...

    Some electric vehicle manufacturers, such as Tesla, claim that a lithium-ion battery that no longer fulfills the requirements of its intended use can be serviced by them directly, thereby lengthening its first-life. [69] Reused electric vehicle batteries can potentially supply 60-100% of the grid-scale lithium-ion energy storage by 2030. [70]

  4. Air ioniser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_ioniser

    Ionisers tend to produce negative ions since these are supposed to have beneficial health effects. Even the best ionisers will also produce a small amount of ozone—triatomic oxygen, O 3 —which is unwanted. Ozone generators are optimised to attract an extra oxygen ion to an O 2 molecule, using either a corona discharge tube or UV light. [8]

  7. Oxygen concentrator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_concentrator

    The term oxygen generator is a misnomer in that the oxygen is not generated as it is with a chemical oxygen generator, but rather it is concentrated from the air. Non-medical oxygen concentrators can be used as feed gas to a medical oxygen system, such as the oxygen system in a hospital, though governmental approval is required, such as by the ...
