BACKGROUND
Bacteria and fungi that grow on the walls can cause allergic reactions and infectious diseases in human. We proposed a low-cost and easy-to-operate testing protocol for large scale field studies to evaluate the long-term antimicrobial performance of a novel WO
METHODS
In Tun Mun and Tin Shui Wai schools, WO
RESULTS
In both schools, the median log-scale ATP values of walls with WOx paint were at least 0.5-log lower than those without WOx paint. The WO
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed testing protocol is suitable to evaluate long-term performance of an antimicrobial paint by analyzing its microbial activity in large-scale field tests. The WO
