Abstract: Indoor air contains many harmful compounds (chemical pollutants, pathogenic aerosols, tobacco smoke,
etc.). We use non-thermal atmospheric plasma in a dielectric barrier discharge configuration and UV-induced
photocatalysis for the treatment of polluted indoor air. The main advantage of using these two technologies is
their capability to destroy and mineralize pollutants to inert gases, contrary to traditional filters that just trap
them. We target to decompose chemical pollutants and pathogenic bio-aerosols, at high gas flow rates
(>300 L/min) for a real scale use, which is the main challenge of this study.
