TX Active concrete tested in Turku, Finland

The Italian 726 Italcementi Group developed TX Active, a photocatalytic principle for cement products said to reduce organic and inorganic pollutants that are present in the air, is being trialled at a test site in Turku, Finland.
Betonielementti CEO Rami Lahti said that titan oxide, a component of TX Active which reacts to sunlight, can convert diesel vehicles' nitrogen emissions into harmless nitrates. Lahti said the TX Active content concrete would be perfect for surfacing parking sites, market places and other locations in Finland.
