"In the Philippine capital Manila, which is one of the most polluted cities in the world, a paint which it is claimed can purify the air is being used.

A local company has come up with the paint and in partnership with the government it is trying to use it to clean up one of the city's most smog-choked roads."

Kate McGeown reports from Manila. Short video...amazing if it works.....

Even if you painted everything in Manila air quality would change little. It's the engines that need changing and traffic management.
