Antibacterial filtration material is an effectively control technique of airborne biological pollutant to purify indoor air. This study aims to assess the antibacterial capability of triclosan treated on three filter fiber materials: the glass fiber (GF), the non-woven fabric (NF) and the chemical fiber (CF). Triclosan was loaded on filtration materials by the impregnation method. E. coli, S. albus and S. aureus were used as test strains. It’s found that the filter materials loaded with triclosan showed obvious antibacterial zone: the antibacterial zones against E. coli were 11.5 mm(GF), 13.2 mm(NF) and 11.0 mm(CF) respectively; zones against S. albus were 28.0 mm(GF), 21.0 mm(NF) and 25.0 mm(CF); zones against S. aureus were 21.5 mm(GF), 14.0 mm(NF) and 11.5 mm(CF). The percent reduction of bacteria of antibacterial fiber treated with triclosan against E. coli were 78.57% (CF) and 80.00% (GF), the percent reduction of bacteria of triclosan treated fiber against S. albus were 68.59% (NF) and 82.52% (CF), respectively. This research provided an effective antibacterial filter fiber material loaded with triclosan and it aids to reduce the transmission and harm of infectious diseases and to decontaminate the indoor environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
