Efficacy of Polarized Fibreglass Filters Irradiated by Ultraviolet Light in C…

Abstract: In this study, spores of Bacillus subtilis were used as a surrogate for spores of Bacillus anthracis. The mock-up air purification system consisted of one or two V-shaped banks of electrostatically polarized fibreglass filters that were installed within a rectangular wooden duct. Ultraviolet (UV) lights that swept across the surface of the filters were installed in front and back of …
