Resumen:
In the present work, different indoor photocatalytic paints were formulated employing for each one diverse amounts of a TiO2 powder commercially available which presents activity under visible light. These paints were illuminated with an ordinaryfluorescent light and photocatalytic degradation of acetaldehyde, are presentative VOC of indoor air, was assessed. Humidity and incident radiation level were varied during the study. An 84% of degradation was achieved with the paint that contains the maximum TiO2 powder amount, a 100% of illumination andthe lowest humidity. On the other hand a near zero percent of conversion was measured for all the paints with the lowest incident radiation level.
