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 …

Exposure to bioaerosol contamination has detrimental effects on human health. Recent
advances in ATP bioluminescence provide more opportunities for the quantitative detection …

With the outbreaks of SARS, MERS, H7N9 and many other epidemic diseases, microbial
contamination has become a significant focus in both HVAC and epidemiology fields. HVAC …

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 introduce a reusable bifunctional polyester/aluminum (PET/Al) air filter for the high
efficiency simultaneous capture and inactivation of airborne microorganisms. Both bacteria …

The effect of corona discharge-generated air ions on the filtration of aerosolized
bacteriophage MS2 was studied. A carbon-fiber ionizer was installed upstream of a medium …

The bacteria and fungi captured on heat insulating materials or air filter media in the
ventilation system in civil flights may reentrant into the indoor air which poses a threat to …

Air is filled with numerous tiny organisms, with sizes ranging from 50 nm to 10 μm. These
organisms are called airborne biological particles or bioaerosols. In the human history of …

Chinese bayberry is susceptible to decay caused by Penicillium citrinum infection, which will
cause food safety problems. Negative air ion (NAI) is a novel type of non-thermal …

This study investigated the effectiveness of different polarities of ionizers in inactivating
bioaerosols in a duct flow condition. Three bacteria species—Escherichia coli (E. coli) …
