A Concrete Solution To Pollution
PreacherTom writes "With concerns over global warming and pollution control reaching an all-time high, an Italian company has developed an interesting solution. It is called TX Active: a concrete that literally breaks down pollutants in the air. The effects are significant: 'In large cities with persistent pollution problems caused by car emissions, smoke from heating systems, and industrial activities, both the company and outside experts estimate that covering 15% of all visible urban surfaces (painting the walls, repaving the roads) with products containing TX Active could abate pollution by up to 50%.' Even more significant is that the cost is only 30% over that of normal concrete. Remarkable."
Hey dumb ass... obviously the concreate and this chemical create synergies in the cholorflorcarbons thorugh osmosial principles on an evolutionary scale. And in in several studies that have been conducted of this modified concrete after exposure to intense bio and industrial pollutants it has been determined that only 1 in 4 people will contract a serious form of cancer by coming into contact with the coated walls and floors. Only 1 in 4! That's less than 30%!
