Title: "Dutch Paving Stones Clean Air Pollution"Description: "A Dutch University WILL SEE if chemically tricked-out paving stones can clear the air".That is *NOT* the same thing.The Article:"When fertilizers are applied heavily, high levels of nitrates can enter the soil or water and be toxic to humans or livestock. The University of Twente said that the nitrate production from its paving stones will be "harmless." "The article also says test results won't be properly available until next year.If they could recover the nitrates for use in fertilizer, that would make it awesome. As with all digg headlines, they are sensationalist attention whoring crap (even if the actual article uses the same title).
