The germicidal effect of the open air in different parts of The Netherlands
Keyword(s):
SUMMARYUsing the microthread technique the survival ofEscherichia coliMRE 162 in open air was measured in different parts of The Netherlands.The presence of bactericidal compounds (open air factor = OAF) could be demonstrated on several days and quantitated in relative units of OAF concentration.In the absence of ozone the OAF concentration was always low. In the presence of ozone the OAF concentration was dependent on wind direction. At the selected microthread exposure sites air from areas with high traffic intensity contributed more to OAF production than air from industrial areas. OAF production is probably related to the nature of hydrocarbons in the air.
