In Rome they built a church which got a TiO2 holding walls... though that is not in concrete but a special white cement.

(I do happen to have followed a course on sustainable building by the professor who is heading this research, he's a nice guy.)]]>Aug 7th 2008 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 5:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 6:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/
High-nitrate levels + drinking water = Blue Baby Syndrome.

Hope they don't lay this stuff down near drinking water sources without seriously upping their water purification plants.

I'm blue da ba dee da...!

Also, to me there would a be a saturation level too. After so much of the product get used, it wouldn't be as effective. To keep effectiveness, you'll have to keep repaving which would be nuts.

All to solve an environmental problem that doesn't exist!]]>Aug 6th 2008 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/

so only civil engineers can discuss bridges? and electrical engineers can discuss computer processors?

therefore no one is allowed to mention that nitrates are correlated with blue baby syndrome? surrrrrre]]>Aug 6th 2008 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 7th 2008 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Couple that with the general incompetence of your average city council and you got amusing chaos.

You also missed the part at the end that said, "...and/or know what you're talking about." As I am not civil or electrical engineer, I don't make comments about subjects I know nothing about. However, as I am in a fellowship for general surgery, I will make a comment I am required to know something about.

Everyone needs to realize that medical tests only show that there is a correlation between certain things and diseases. In order to prove that they cause you would have to invent/create/find the cure to the disease based on the correlation. Until you can, there is no proof of anything, jsut a correlation]]>Aug 6th 2008 7:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/]]>Aug 6th 2008 10:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Hmmm, are you also in a fellowship for the conceit of the medical profession?

Your reply sounds like common MD mindset.

Lord you knowledge over everyone else, dismiss anyone else's attempts at addressing the subject. Allow no one else to comment unless they are well-versed in medical terminology.

Luckily you didn't ask for a fee!!!! .....or we all would have had to fork over $150!!!

Here's free advice....try a little humility and common helpfulness...stop with the smackdowns.]]>Aug 14th 2008 8:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Come to think of it, if they made some decent movies they'd got the whole 'american way of life' covered.

and one things's for sure, the ozone that's formed in the atmosphere with NOx's react with UV is highly toxic.

still, better to avoid polluting in the first place.]]>Aug 6th 2008 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/

henceforth phanbouy shall:

1) not discuss on any obvious fucking things like that ozone is bad for you

2) refrain from making jokes that my bestest idol 'phanbouy fan' can't comprehend

3) in fact, refrain from commenting altogether because he made my cry the other day and hurt my feewings]]>Aug 6th 2008 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 7:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 9:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 8:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 8:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 11:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 8:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 8:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 8:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 8:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 8:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/06/dutch-town-looks-to-cut-pollution-with-air-purifying-concrete/Aug 6th 2008 10:22PM
