A Review on Smart and Eco-Friendly Building Material

Abstract. Due to industrialization and man-made activities in and around the world, Day by day pollution levels are drastically increasing. This being said, building materials in the present context can be produced using novel techniques by applying advanced pollution reduction coatings/strategies. The self-cleaning and de-air polluting concept is emphasized in concrete structures using nanotechnology. Photo-catalytic treatment will be a promising approach as it alleviates structural and aesthetic damages on building materials. Finally, the risk exposure due to pollutants can be computed for better treatment of the same.
