Abstract :The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of essential oils and carvacrol combination for room air disinfection. Combination of essential oils and carvacrol was homogeneously sprayed to a room containing 44.3 m3 of air. Petri dishes containing Nutrient Agar medium were opened for 60 min in ambient air for sampling from ambient air before and after disinfection at the same four different regions of the room. The incubation was performed at 25 °C for 10 days. After incubation period, the colonies were counted. Microbial load was decreased by essential oils and carvacrol combination approximately 50% for the room air. Essential oils and carvacrol combination may be beneficial in decreasing the microbial load of ambient air. This combination should be a green alternative to chemical disinfectants.
