“THE USE OF TITANIUM DIOXIDE TO PRODUCE SMOG ABSORBING CONCRETE”

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to solve the ever-increasing pollution problem in today's world, a sustainable solution is needed. This sustainability includes environmental protection, as well as social and economic equity. To achieve a fully sustainable solution, all three of these critical issues must be solved. The most promising solution to this problem is titanium dioxide-blended concrete. The material has similar structural properties to normal concrete, but because of the titanium dioxide, can remove pollutants from the air by decomposing them into harmless compounds. This solution provides a viable option to urban areas, where pollution levels are generally higher, due to the large potential surface area for the material.
