Can Nanotextiles Enhance Filtration Capacity of HEPA Filters for Microorganisms?
Original language description
To evaluate the contribution of the air conditioning system to the air borne microorganism transmission, the microbial contamination of selected air filters was investigated. High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters removed aseptically from commercial aircraft cabin air conditioning system and HEPA filter from household air conditioner were tested. On both HEPA filters, the pathogenic microorganisms were searched for. The present study is aimed to compare the microbial contamination of inlet and outlet surface of the filters. For this aim, cultivation of bacteria and real time RT PCR techniques were used. The aircraft air filter was highly contaminated with pathogens and potential pathogens on both sides of the filter, namely Escherichia coli, Staphyloccoccus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Citrobacter spp, and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. Quantification revealed ten times higher values of colony forming unit per milliliter (CFU/ml) on the outlet surface of the filter [1].
