Abstract: This paper reports the results of an environmental monitoring campaign entailing the analysis of NOx levels and the control of environmental parameters as found on the photocatalytic concrete block pavement installed across a central Street in Bergamo, Italy.
The road & sidewalk renovation project was completed in late September 2006. The road section involved in the renovation project is about 500 m long, accounting for an active surface area of about 12,000 m2.
Environmental monitoring was accomplished through two successive campaigns (lasting two weeks each), in November 2006 and January 2007.
Both testing campaigns highlighted efficient abatement of pollutants by the photocatalytic pavement, as evidenced by the lower concentrations found then compared with the asphalt pavement site.
The duration of the monitoring campaigns performed seems to be to be considered significant from the statistical point of view, unlike as all previous experiments which were carried out on the photocatalytic materials, for one day.
