Photocatalytic Recyclers for Purification and Disinfection of Indoor Air in Medical Institutions

  • Published:
Biomedical Engineering Aims and scope

TIOKRAFT experimental photocatalytic recyclers are suggested for cleaning and disinfection of indoor air in various facilities, including hospitals. It is demonstrated that these recyclers can be effectively used to purify air from volatile organic pollutants, aerosols, and fungal and bacterial microflora. The photocatalytic recyclers reduce microbiological contamination of the air in hospital facilities by an order of magnitude. Thus, the recyclers can be considered as promising agents of protection against nosocomial infections.
