This is a very old way of making pavement cheaper and reducing noise.

The material in tires is much difference than what is used to bind the rocks in asphaltic concrete (asphalt is the just black goo holding the rocks together).

Tires and asphalt come from the waste of refining oil into gas, jet fuel, and diesel. All of this comes from one barrel of oil in the refining process.

So, NOx (Oxides of nitrogen, where "x" is generally 2 or 3) will FALL towards the pavement. Since these are the pollutants that this pavement is trying to curb, it is a good solution.]]>Aug 13th 2008 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/madrid-gets-in-on-the-pollution-cutting-asphalt-action/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/madrid-gets-in-on-the-pollution-cutting-asphalt-action/Aug 13th 2008 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/madrid-gets-in-on-the-pollution-cutting-asphalt-action/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/madrid-gets-in-on-the-pollution-cutting-asphalt-action/Aug 13th 2008 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/madrid-gets-in-on-the-pollution-cutting-asphalt-action/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/madrid-gets-in-on-the-pollution-cutting-asphalt-action/]]>Aug 13th 2008 7:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/madrid-gets-in-on-the-pollution-cutting-asphalt-action/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/madrid-gets-in-on-the-pollution-cutting-asphalt-action/Aug 13th 2008 2:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/madrid-gets-in-on-the-pollution-cutting-asphalt-action/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/madrid-gets-in-on-the-pollution-cutting-asphalt-action/Aug 13th 2008 6:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/madrid-gets-in-on-the-pollution-cutting-asphalt-action/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/madrid-gets-in-on-the-pollution-cutting-asphalt-action/Aug 13th 2008 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/madrid-gets-in-on-the-pollution-cutting-asphalt-action/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/madrid-gets-in-on-the-pollution-cutting-asphalt-action/Aug 13th 2008 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/madrid-gets-in-on-the-pollution-cutting-asphalt-action/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/13/madrid-gets-in-on-the-pollution-cutting-asphalt-action/Aug 13th 2008 8:10PM
