Abstract

This review article provides an overview of the prevalent problem of air pollution in metropolitan and urban areas, emphasizing the imperative for innovative technologies to mitigate pollutants. It explores the application of photo-catalytic technology, utilizing nanoparticles such as meal oxides, to effectively address air pollution stemming from vehicle emissions. Additionally, the article investigates the use of metal oxides and activated carbon derived from biomass in the context of photocatalytic concrete, with the overarching goal of developing environmentally conscious building materials for urban environments. The review encompasses significant findings from various studies, highlighting advancements in durability, efficiency in photocatalysis, positive impacts on public health, sustainability, and contributions to scientific progress.
