…but you have to live in the Netherlands to be able to enjoy the clean air.

Back in June, I mentioned the self-cleaning cement that was used in Rome. Now it appears that the the Dutch town of Hengelo is debating about paving their roads with it. The new type of air purifying cement developed by the University of Twente is already being used on half of a road under construction. Before creating the whole road with it, they will just do the first half and then wait a year. Testing will be performed to see if there is any change in the air quality. They will then decide whether to continue paving the rest of the town.

Here’s to hoping that it makes a world of difference. With all the infrastructure improvements over here, it would be wonderful to incorporate this technology to help out with the environment.
