Comparison of Photocatalytic Biocidal Activity of TiO<sub>2</sub>, ZnO and Au/ZnO on <i>Escherichia coli</i> and on <i>Aspergillus niger</i> under Light Intensity Close to Real-Life Conditions

Microbial contamination of the surface of building materials and subsequent release of microbial particles into the air can significantly affect indoor air quality. Avoiding the development or, at least, reducing the quantity of microorganisms growing on building materials is a key point to reduce h...
