 The qualityof indoor air has a large impact on human´s health due to the time that peoplespend on indoor environments. Heterogeneous photocatalysis employing TiO2 ascatalyst has proven to be an efficient method for air and water purification.In this studythe photocatalytic oxidation of an indoor air pollutant, i.e. acetaldehyde,into CO2 was carry out using a developed photocatalytic paint and regularindoor lights in a bench scale photoreactor simulating a room.
