Air purification is a critical process aimed at removing harmful impurities and ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for human life and activity. This paper presents the antibacterial and antifungal efficacy of impregnated carbon-silicon filters. Antibacterial activity was studied on Bacillus paramycoides and Pseudomonas koreensis strains using the diffusion method on a solid nutrient medium, and antifungal efficacy was studied on strains Fusarium spp. and Penicillium spp. Tests showed that sorbent samples with different active ingredient concentrations exhibited varying levels of bacterial and fungal growth inhibition , with sample No. 2 KRSH+50 I2 demonstrating the highest activity Optimizing the sorbent composition and increasing the concentration of active components can enhance its antibacterial properties. The developed sorbents have high potential for use in air purification systems with additional protection against bacterial contamination, making them promising for use in areas with increased hygiene and air purity requirements.
