Dutch scientists at Eindhoven University of Technology have discovered that they can reduce air pollution by 50% by installing air-purifying pavement on the city of Hengelo’s urban streets. The scientists discovered that by lining the streets with paving blocks covered in titanium oxide, otherwise known as photocatalytic pavement, they can remove particulate matter from the […]

Titanium dioxide coatings, “self-cleaning” substances used for removal of air pollution, were found to increase the levels of nitrogen oxide, causing ozone pollution. A study by environmental scientists at Indiana University, published this week in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, claims that instead of removing harmful particles from the atmosphere, titanium dioxide converts […]
