Abstract

Airborne bacteria, fungi, and viruses are known to have adverse effects on human health. Variousantimicrobial agents have been used to prohibit the growth of microorganisms on the surfaces of air filtermedia. In this study, nano-sized silver and copper particles were tested for their antifungal effects on indoorfungi, Cladosporium cladosporioides and Aspergillus versicolor. The growth circle of the fungi was observedon a solid agar plate containing the two nanoparticles. The nanoparticle concentration ranged from 0 to 500μg/mL. The size of fungal growth circle seemed to decrease with increasing nanoparticle concentration inagar plates, indicating that silver and copper nanoparticles have antifungal properties against C.cladosporioides and A. versicolor.
