Photocatalytic inactivation technologies for bioaerosols: advances and perspective

“…115 Microwave irradiation has been used for bioaerosol inactivation through various mechanisms including thermal effects, disruption of weak bonds in active protein forms, enhanced production of reactive oxygen species, and cell-signaling pathway interference as bioaerosols can absorb microwaves. [116][117][118] Wu et al investigated the survival of bioaerosols on exposure to microwave irradiation (2450 MHz) for 2 min at different output powers (700, 385 and 119 W). The survival rates of airborne B. subtilis var.…”
