Press Release Summary: SolarStucco self-cleaning technology protects building's
exterior; once coated, buildings new (or restored) remain clean for many years.
SolarStucco coatings are water based, very easy to apply and easily integrated into
any manufacturing process.

Press Release Body: Green Earth Nano Science Inc., a nanotechnology solutions
provider and global supplier of proprietary photocatalyst* coatings, recently
introduced its newly improved, easy to apply, green, environment friendly,
transparent self-cleaning coatings for exterior applications distributed globally
under the SolarStuccoT brand.

SolarStucco self-cleaning coating technology utilizes natural photocatalyst and
nanotechnology. At the presence of light, the photocatalyst will decompose the
organic pollutants. Without the adhesion of organic pollutant, the inorganic
pollutants left on the surface can be easily swept away by rain. It is effective
against organic-based dirt, mould, fungus, moss and protects substrate against UV
discoloration. In practice, surface cleaning of building materials like stucco,
tiles, facades, aluminum or plastic panels, concrete and glass panes causes
considerable trouble, high consumption of energy and chemical detergents and,
consequently, high costs. SolarStucco self-cleaning technology protects the
building's exterior; once coated, buildings new (or restored) remain clean for many
years. As an additional benefit, less water and chemicals are used, less impact on
the environment is achieved and building maintenance costs are reduced.

Green Earth Nano Science Inc. is marketing its SolarStucco coatings to the exterior
building materials manufacturing sector and exterior building services sector. New
building materials improved by advanced surface nanotechnology are already available
on the market; one example is self-cleaning glass which is manufactured by several
major companies. Green Earth Nano Science Inc. is developing self-cleaning building
materials in conjunction with various major manufacturers including several Fortune
500 companies. SolarStucco coatings are water based, very easy to apply and are
easily integrated into any manufacturing process.

"Our company has tested many materials provided by major manufacturers.
SolarStucco's self-cleaning technology is being integrated into many building
materials; we cooperate with several major manufacturers and new products are under
development. SolarStucco self-cleaning technology can be integrated into materials
such as aluminum panels, concrete precasts, stucco finishes, stones, plastic panels
and so on. We are thrilled with the results and performance of our self-cleaning
technology integrated with those building materials. It will bring benefits not only
to building owners, but to the environment and all of us." - reported by company
spokesperson.

SolarStucco coatings are designed for exterior applications. For indoor
applications, the company supplies hygienic coatings marketed under the brand GENS
NANOT. The company has developed a complete range of environmental services
available to license to regional applicators, contractors, entrepreneurs and
distributors. Hygienic coatings and other environmental solutions are used by the
company to improve indoor environments and to protect against Sick Building Syndrome
and surface bio-contamination.

(*) Photo-Catalysis is defined as \"acceleration by the presence of a catalyst\". A
catalyst does not change in itself and is not consumed in the chemical reaction.
This definition includes photosensitization - a process by which a photochemical
alteration occurs in one molecular entity as a result of initial absorption of
radiation by another molecular entity called the photosensitized. Chlorophyll in
plants is a type of photocatalyst called photosynthesis. Photocatalysis occurs when
chlorophyll captures sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and
glucose. Photocatalysis is the creation of a strong oxidation agent to breakdown
any organic matter into carbon dioxide and water in the presence of the
photocatalyst, light and water.
