  • Help Improve Our Climate with a Smog-eating Roof

    Air quality issues are not limited to large cities. In fact, according to the American Lung Association's State of the Air report, 141.1 million Americans—more than four in 10—lived in counties with unhealthy levels of either ozone or particle pollution in 2015-2017.

    Each home or building with smog-reducing shingles helps remove smog pollutants that come in contact with that roof. Help decrease smog pollutants in your community by turning your roof into a smog fighting surface.

    See 3M’s Sustainability Report highlighted on pages 10, 21 and 41.
