“To Study On Pollution Absorbing Brick By Using ZnO”

Pollution Absorbing Brick using Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is an innovative construction material developed to address both structural and environmental challenges in modern construction. The incorporation of ZnO, a photocatalytic material, into the brick matrix significantly enhances the functional properties of conventional bricks by enabling them to reduce air pollution. Unlike traditional bricks, these modified bricks actively participate in environmental purification by degrading harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and organic contaminants when exposed to sunlight. The results indicate that the inclusion of ZnO slightly influences the physical properties of the bricks while considerably improving their pollution absorbing capacity. An optimum percentage of ZnO was identified to achieve a balance between structural performance and environmental effectiveness. Thus, pollution absorbing bricks using ZnO present a promising solution for modern construction by enhancing air quality, durability, and overall environmental performance. The study also examines the potential application of these bricks in urban areas with high pollution levels, highlighting their suitability for facades, pavements, and exterior walls. The findings demonstrate that ZnO-based pollution absorbing bricks offer a sustainable, eco- friendly, and cost-effective alternative to conventional construction materials.
