Negative air ions (NAIs) have been discovered for more than 100 years and are widely used
for air cleaning. Here, we have carried out a comprehensive reviewing on the effects of NAIs …

Several tiny organisms of various size ranges present in air are called airborne particles or
bioaerosol which mainly includes live or dead fungi and bacteria, their secondary …

The use of high voltage electric field (HVEF) has developed recently with different modes,
either static voltage or pulsed voltage. The HVEF is known as an emerging non-thermal …

Microbial inactivation using non-thermal gas discharge at atmospheric pressure has
become a subject of significant research effort in the recent years. In this paper, we reviewed …

Background Institutional tuberculosis (TB) transmission is an important public health
problem highlighted by the HIV/AIDS pandemic and the emergence of multidrug-and …

BACKGROUND: Bacterial infections continue to pose a threat to health in many institutional
and communal settings, and epidemics are frequent. Current control measures are clearly …

The present work was conducted in a two-part study. In part I, the levels of indoor and
outdoor PM10, PM2. 5, and PM1 was measured using real time GRIMM dust monitors. In …

Sprout-related outbreaks of foodborne illnesses are increasingly becoming a food safety
concern. Different pathogenic microorganisms that originate from sprout seeds are known to …

Air ionizers and 222-nm krypton-chlorine (KrCl) excilamp have proven to be effective
disinfection apparatus for bacteria and viruses with limited health risks. We determined …

Here we present the results of an experimental study of the effect of ions produced in a dc
corona discharge on inactivation of bacteria on the surface of agarose gel. Both positive and …
