Abstract

Bioaerosols are airborne particles of biological origins including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and all varieties ofliving materials. In suitable hosts, bioaerosols are capable of causing acute or chornic diseases that may beinfectious, allergenic, or toxigenic. Bioaerosols from outdoor air accumulate on filters of heating, ventilatingand air conditioning (HVAC) system in large quantities and are able to multiply there under certainconditions. In this study, silver was coated on activated carbon fiber (ACF) filters by an electroless platingmethod, and their efficacy for bioaerosols removal was tested. Physical filtration and biological antimicrobialtest were performed. SEM and XRD analyses were used to characterize the morphology and components ofACF filters. Electroless silver-plated ACF filters showed antimicrobial efficiency, whereas pure ACF filtersdid not. It was found that electroless silver plating did not influence the physical filtration efficiency of ACFfilters.
