Synergistic Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species by Visible Light Activated TiO2 and S. Enterica Interaction

A lot of human activities have negative impact on water quality and sometimes result in the biological water contamination. Currently used chemical (chlorine, ozone, and etc.) and physical (UV) water disinfection methods have strong environmental disadvantages or suffers from limited efficiency. To...
