 note = {Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are known as carcinogenic and/or mutagenic substances, and are present at high concentration in polluted environments. It has recently been reported that spore-forming bacteria (e.g., Bacillus spp.) can be transported long distances alive in the atmosphere, which raises the possibility that some of the transported bacteria could have adverse effects on human health. There is thus a need for filters that can remove gaseous PAHs from the air that people breathe and that can inhibit bacterial growth on the filters. We focused on metallophthalocyanine derivatives (M-Pc) which are known to adsorb PAHs as well as to inhibit the growth of bacteria as a potential filtering agent. In this study, we developed different types of M-Pc-supported rayon fibers by changing central metals, functional groups, concentrations of M-Pc and rayon types, and evaluated their removal effects by measuring adsorption rates of 3- and 4-ring PAHs with a HPLC and growth curves of Bacillus sp. with a spectrophotometer. The results showed that both the effects depended on functional groups and concentrations of M-Pc, and rayon types. The most effective combination was observed in Fe-Pc with sulfo group supported on cationized rayon fiber at the concentration of 2 to 3.3 wt%. Central metal species of M-Pc were influenced only on the antibacterial properties. This fiber would be applicable to filtering agents and textiles.},
