Concentration and wavelength dependence of the aluminum nanoshielding effects in bacterial inactivation. Concentration dependence of the E. coli survival ratio (log (N/N0)) with varying concentration of Al NPs with 25% E. coli (a) and with varying concentration of E. coli with 25% Al NPs (b) at 254 nm UV irradiation. Wavelength dependence of the E. coli survival ratio without (c) and with 25% (d) Al NPs at 25% E. coli concentration. Dashed and dash-dotted lines are trend lines for the measurements performed at 254 nm and 300 nm irradiation, respectively, for the doses >10 mJ/cm2.
