Use of photocatalytic products for sustainable construction development
Sustainable development implies effort in order to be able to improve and safeguard future environmental conditions, while improving actual quality of life. A key aspect of this approach is related to construction materials and technologies sustainability since development is strictly related to construction capacity, not only for housing but even and mainly for infrastructures. Within this frame the use of photocatalytic products has been promoted and exploited, due to their ability to abate organic as well inorganic air pollutants and keep surfaces clean with time. In particular, the photocatalytic activity of paint, mortar, render and concrete made with a photocatalytic cement has been considered when applied to road infrastructures, like pervious concrete pavements, concrete lining and coatings for tunnels and also road accessories like barriers and walls
