Only their estimated radiative forcing (RF) impact is included or GWP value. A comparison of the potential GWP offsets of PlusTi TM on AC and PCC surface courses is found in (Figure 76) . On both types of pavements, complete offsetting is easily achieved and even a net carbon asset can be created. 258 EPA; Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI), International Standard ISO 22197-1 Test method for air- purification performance of semiconducting photocatalytic materials . 259 EPA; 60 Co 2 e per Dahlmann K et al, Quantifying the contributions of individual NOx sources to the trend in ozone radiative forcing , DLR Institute for Atmospheric Physics, Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany, February 2011. 260 Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) – MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSHub): Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) ASTM E1980-11 Standard Practice for Calculating Solar Reflectance Index of Horizontal and Low-Sloped Opaque Surfaces ; converted into radiative forcing (RF) or GWP/ CO 2 e. 261 Shen M, Huang W, et al, (Micro)plastic crisis: Un-ignorable contribution to global greenhouse emissions and climate change, May 2020. 262 A.R.A.1-Ti CO 2 e AC abatement; National Center for Pavement Preservation (NCPP); Colas S.A.; Chehovits J and Galehouse L, Energy Usage and Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Pavement Preservation Processes for Asphalt Pavements, Transportation Research Board , 2010; Ergon, Inc.; and Multi-year MRT Sustainability Study: Charleston County (SC): Pavement Technology, Inc.; APART.
