title = "A simple, inexpensive method for the rapid testing of the photocatalytic activity of self-cleaning surfaces",
abstract = "A rapid, semi-quantitative, inexpensive method, using a simple digital scanner and an indicator ink, suitable for use in the laboratory, or in the field, for assessing the photocatalytic activity of commercial photocatalytic self-cleaning materials, such as glass, is described. The repeatability of the current method is found to be high and better than many of the previously reported ISO photocatalyst tests.",

note = "Funding Information: The round robin inter-laboratory tests were conducted as part of the work of INTEC, a Coordination and Support Action, funded by the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme for Research (FP7-NMP-2012-CSA-6, GA no. 319210 ). The aim of the action is to explore the utilisation of photocatalyst indicator inks in a CEN standard for the rapid testing of the activities of various different self-cleaning surfaces, including: glass, tiles, paints, fabrics and concrete. We thank the EU for funding this exercise.",
