RE: Oct. 19 New roof membrane depollutes air
After reading the article on NOx cleaning Siplast membrane, I decided to write a small comment.
It seems very surprising that this new breakthrough in roofing did not create enough reactions. I believe that this is a direction towards new materials should aim at.
After walking on the moon, we should be able to take care of our own atmosphere and develop many long-term solutions to help the environment after centuries of neglect.
