Introduction
¬Bioaerosols, suspended biological particulate matter in
air of which some cause
infectious diseases, have become a main cause of concern when dealing with indoor air pollution.
¬
¬These compounds can
circulate through a building after being deposited outside near the air intake of a building’s
heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning (HVAC) system, or after being released inside the building and recirculated through
the HVAC system.
¬
¬Ultraviolet Germicidal
Irradiation (UVGI) can be used in order to damage the DNA of bioaerosols so they are unable to
reproduce (inactivation).
