Weak electric fields have been shown to significantly enhance the capture efficiencies (approaching those of HEPA filters) of airborne particulate matter through coarse fibrous material of HVAC filters, without the associated pressure demands of HEPA filters. The low current electric fields used in these filters may also have a biocidal effect on airborne microorganisms. The mechanism(s) responsible for microbial inactivation of EEFs has not been elucidated, and the disinfection potential has not been optimized for indoor air quality applications. In this study surrogates that are commonly used to model the behavior of pathogenic bioaerosols were immobilized on ASHRAE rated filter media, placed in defined EEFs, and their response was observed. Several filter media were tested and experiments were carried out under static and air flow through conditions. EEF exposure of Bacillus subtilis (vegetative), Mycobacterium parafortuitum, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa resulted in greater than two log inactivation after 4 h, and in several experiments up to 5 log inactivation was observed. There was no obvious response of B. subtilis spores to the EEFs of this study. The results of this study showed no apparent effect of airflow on inactivation of surrogate pathogens. Results suggest that weak electric fields applied to air filtration equipment may be an effective engineering technology for rapid inactivation of vegetative cells on low-pressure drop filter media.
