•Bioaerosols, aerosols containing particles of biological origin, can cause infectious
diseases and are of concern in dealing with indoor air pollution
and bioterrorism.
•
•Air filters have been designed to remove and inactivate particles, including
bioaerosols, from indoor air.
•
•Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is one possible method of controlling
contamination in rooms and in buildings’ heating, ventilation and
air conditioning (HVAC) systems by inactivating the
bioaerosols.
