- Abstract
- The abatement of airborne pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi has become an important goal of air quality management. Efficient and effective treatment techniques such as photocatalysis are essential for disinfection of airborne microorganisms. This review focuses on recent advances in the formulation and development of photocatalytic disinfection, design of efficient photocatalysts, choice of photocatalytic reactor, removal and/or disinfection mechanisms, and the role of reactive ion species. Data from recent studies are analyzed to accurately assess the efficacy of such disinfection approaches. This review also highlights the application of innovative materials in individual and combined abatement systems against airborne bacterial, viral, and fungal pathogens. We discuss the efficiency and benefits presented by such systems, address the challenges, and provide a perspective for future research. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
