Air pollution is a major issue all over the world. It harms living creatures and causes damage to our environment. According to the World Health Organization more than 2 million people die yearly of causes accredited to air pollution. It is mandatory that we focus our attention and take actions to deal with that problem before it destroys our planet.
There are many different ways of helping in the fight against air pollution. The people from BoralRoofing are focusing on the one that reduces the atmospheric emissions of pollutants, such as the automobile. Their invention is called BoralPure and is a Smog-Eating Tile that interacts with harmful airborne pollutants converting them into a harmless byproduct. The tile’s key ingredient Titanium Dioxide is activated by sunlight. After it is activated the compound interacts with harmful nitrogen oxides and converts them to calcium nitrates (a fertilizer).
As stated by the company “In one year, 2,000 square feet of the Smog Eating Tile mitigates the same amount of nitrogen oxide (a major component of smog) produced by one car driving up to 10,800 miles”
With prices slightly more expensive than regular tiles, the BoralPure Tiles are a good solution to the smog and the damaging effect it has.
Great idea, and great that it not only gets rid of smog, but it turns it into something useful - fertilizer. It's good to hear about ordinary products that strive to contribute to the health of the planet. Maybe someday all products will be made with this much consideration of our environment, and the industry standard will require as much environmental consciousness as Boral Tiles has put into their product.
ReplyDeleteWow. China will really need this. Tt's difficult to see blue sky in China. This will give them some help away of the pollution.
ReplyDeleteI think every new house that will be built should have this. It might be a little more expensive, but the government should actually require this just to increase progress with helping the environment.
