Project contents

The idea underlying the “EU-LIFE-Project CMA+” is to reduce fine-dust or particulate-matter pollution by applying liquid Calcium-Magnesium-Acetate. This measure is one of the results of precursor project “KAPA GS“, which showed a marked decrease in the fine dust burden in close proximity to roads that had been treated with CMA as a fine-dust bonding agent.
Now efforts focus on optimising this “fine-dust glue”, as it is colloquially referred to, for application both in winter and in summer. In winter, CMA is not only used to bind dust but as a de-icing agent as well. Throughout the year, liquid CMA is used to bind dust on unpaved surfaces (construction sites, dirt roads, etc.)
In the course of the project, an instruction manual on the use of CAM will be compiled for European cities and towns.
