Abstract
The current study is the first to delineate the contribution of photocatalysis to inactivation of Bacillus cereus endospores on dry surfaces over a broad range (0-153W/m(2)) of UVA irradiance. Inactivation of spores at low UVA irradiance (30W/m(2)) was primarily due to photocatalysis, whereas at higher UVA irradiance inactivation was primarily due to UV alone. A linear relationship between UVA irradiance and the rate of spore inactivation was observed in the absence of photocatalyst. The rate of photocatalytic inactivation was non-linear with respect to UVA irradiance, exhibiting a maximum at 30W/m(2).Entities:
