A photocatalytic reactor (30) for treating exhaust gases from a power plant such as an internal combustion engine, which reactor comprising a chamber (36) for receiving a flowing exhaust gas, a first inlet (32) and a first outlet (34), at least one source of electromagnetic radiation (38) and at least one substrate monolith (10) for supporting a photocatalyst disposed in the chamber, characterised in that the substrate (10) comprises at least one passage (20) defined in part by a wall (12'), which wall comprising at least a one second inlet (13) and at least one second outlet (14), wherein the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the or each second outlet (14) being greater than the sum of the cross sectional areas of the or each second inlet (13) whereby the linear flow velocity of a gas at a point downstream of the at least one second outlet (14) is less than the linear flow velocity of the gas entering the at least one second inlet (13).
