The air quality in underground road tunnels tends to be worse than in other road environments due to the poor air circulation. To address this issue, researchers at the Korea Institute of Civil ...

Traffic is among the biggest sources of air pollution, but what if the very roads they drive on could help clear the air? Engineers in Korea have now demonstrated that photocatalytic concrete can help ...

A bridge spanning a major road in Barcelona will be coated in photocatalytic concrete, allowing it to "eat" pollution. The material uses energy from the sun to break down polluted air into little more ...

Some of the fastest-growing jobs in the world deal with how to make technologies that do not to pollute the environment. There is plenty of research that shows more disease and illnesses in cities ...
