The next time you pull a disk, closer to the street, where is your car on the road. “How do you think he will be able to help to transform the environment in a cleaner environment? Well, we know that carbon emissions from vehicles is a major problem these days is not spewing a number of other nasties from the Embedded fossil-fuel vehicles powered exhaust is mentioned. belong Under these nitrogen oxides (NOx), and when it reacts with chemicals produced by the sun, nitric acid is formed, a major component of acid rain, is if in turn reacts with sunlight to form ozone and Smog make. How we humans live in areas with high traffic, we are constantly bombarded with higher amounts of nitrogen oxides in the air, which may struggle to damage to the respiratory tract. How to be against such a dilemma? The answer lies in patches with clean air in concrete, resulting in a decrease in the concentration of nitrogen oxides by 25% to 45%.

The municipality of Hengelo, Netherlands, have attracted researchers from the Technical University Eindhoven (TU / e) to about 1000 square meters of road surface employs Castorweg, concrete stone cleaner air, said during a different area of 1,000 square meters was covered with cobblestones normal. It goes without saying that to do the actual ex-titanium dioxide, a material that photocatalytic their part in removing nitrogen from the air and convert them into harmless nitrate using sunlight, where nitrate is then rinsed contains resulting from the rain be. After a trio of measures on air pollution Castorweg last spring (which means that the test went throughout the autumn and winter), the paved surface Concrete air purifier NOx content was lower in 25% to 45% less than the normal concrete paved area found. We wonder if future action will mean for the year a widening gap.

Who would have thought that our roads could not be a Life Saver / environment, have you? Cost is not really a problem, either because of the concrete-air cleaner uses 50% more expensive than regular concrete, but the cost of building roads that are 10% more.
