Role of nanotechnology in the management of indoor fungi

Fungi are ubiquitous in the environment and seek to colonize and grow on diverse materials as part of their life cycle. They constitute complex biofilms on surfaces and deteriorate the indoor air quality even under adverse conditions. They adapt well to changing humidity and temperature conditions,...

description Fungi are ubiquitous in the environment and seek to colonize and grow on diverse materials as part of their life cycle. They constitute complex biofilms on surfaces and deteriorate the indoor air quality even under adverse conditions. They adapt well to changing humidity and temperature conditions, resuming their growth in minutes. Their vital activity generates a large number of pollutants that contribute to bioaerosols, which generate major health problems. The reports published in last few decades pointed out that contaminated environments play an important role in the transmission of infections, especially in hospitals. Advances in the field of nanotechnology have resulted in different and diverse applications. Antimicrobial nanomaterials have been found to be eco‐friendly alternatives to be applied in functional paint and coatings. These ?smart? surfaces could face at nanoscale level the approaching of propagules to avoid their attachment, which is the first stage in biofilm development. In this sense, several nanomaterials, including metal, non‐metal, and hybrids, have been discussed in relation to their antifungal activity in this chapter.
