Technologies to Reduce Air Pollution in Road Construction

Reducing air pollution during road construction is crucial. First, photocatalytic technology involves applying titanium dioxide (TiO2) coatings on road surfaces, which, under UV light, break down harmful gases like nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, effectively purifying the air. Second, using low-emission construction equipment and electric or hybrid machinery significantly reduces exhaust emissions. Additionally, selecting eco-friendly materials with low volatile organic compound (VOC) content minimizes the release of harmful gases. Scientific construction management, such as optimizing construction processes and implementing dust control measures, also helps reduce pollution. Finally, real-time air quality monitoring and adjusting construction strategies based on the data ensure the effectiveness of environmental measures. The combined application of these technologies and methods helps achieve green construction, protecting the environment and public health.
