Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Quant au béton photocatalytique, ce dernier agit comme catalyseur et transforme l'azote et le soufre dans l'air en sels insolubles. Il contribue donc à réduire le smog, car il décompose aisément les polluants atmosphériques comme les oxydes d’azote et les oxydes de soufre. Il décompose également la poussière, les moisissures et les bactéries. 3, record 1, French, - b%C3%A9ton%20photocatalytique
