Xa kujongwa into yokuba ii-aerosols ze-microbial eziqokelelweyo zihlala kumphezulu wesihluzo, amathuba okuba ziphinde zisuswe kwaye ziphinde zifakwe kwi-gas carrier azinakutyeshelwa. Ii-particles ezifakwe kwi-aerosol zisenokuba zisaphila nto leyo ebangela iingozi ezinkulu kubemi nakwindalo esingqongileyo. Le ngxaki ingasonjululwa ngokongeza ii-agents zokubulala iintsholongwane kwi-gas carrier okanye ukwenza ezinye iinkqubo zokuzicima ngokuthe ngqo kumphezulu wesihluzo, nto leyo eyenza ii-particles ze-microbial zingasebenzi kwiimeko apho kunokwenzeka ukuba ziphinde zifakwe kwi-aerosol.

Kukho iindlela zobuchwepheshe ezikhoyo zokubulala iintsholongwane kwiintsholongwane. Ziquka ukubola kweentsholongwane nge-photocatalytic kumphezulu we-titanium oxide okhanyiselwe yi-ultraviolet (UV; Vohra et al. 2006; Grinshpun et al. 2007), ukubola kwe-thermal okusekwe kwi-infrared (IR) radiation (Damit et al. 2011), kusetyenziswa iikhemikhali ezifakwe ngqo kwi-air carrier okanye ezifakwe kumphezulu wesihluzo (Pyankov et al. 2008; Huang et al. 2010), kunye nezinye. Phakathi kweentlobo ngeentlobo zezibulali-ntsholongwane, ezinye ii-oyile zendalo zibonakala zithembisa ngenxa yokuba azinatyhefu kakhulu okanye azinatyhefu, ingakumbi xa zixutyiwe (Carson et al. 2006). Kwiminyaka elishumi edlulileyo, iintlobo ngeentlobo zee-oyile ezibalulekileyo ezivela kwizityalo ziye zahlolwa ukuze kuhlolwe umsebenzi wazo wokulwa neentsholongwane (Reichling et al. 2009).

Ukusetyenziswa okunokwenzeka kweeoyile, ezifana neoyile yomthi weti (TTO) kunye neoyile ye-eucalyptus (EUO), njengezibulali-ntsholongwane kuboniswe ngokucacileyo kwizifundo zamva nje ze-in vitro malunga neentsholongwane (Wilkinson kunye noCavanagh 2005; Carson et al. 2006; Salari et al. 2006; Hayley kunye noPalombo 2009), i-antifungal (Hammer et al. 2000; Oliva et al. 2003), kunye nemisebenzi ye-antiviral (Schnitzler et al. 2001; Cermelli et al. 2008; Garozzo et al. 2011). Ukongeza, kuboniswe ukuba iioyile ezibalulekileyo ziyimixube eyahlukeneyo, kunye notshintsho olukhulu lwebatch ukuya kwibatch yezinto, kuxhomekeke kwiimeko zokukhula emasimini (Kawakami et al. 1990; Moudachirou et al. 1999). Umsebenzi we-TTO wokulwa neentsholongwane ubangelwa ikakhulu yi-terpinen-4-ol (35–45%) kunye ne-1,8-cineole (1–6%); nangona kunjalo, ezinye izinto ezifana ne-a-terpineol, i-terpinolene, kunye ne-a- kunye ne-c-terpinene nazo zihlala zikhona kwaye zinokuba negalelo ekubulaleni iintsholongwane kwiintsholongwane (uMeyi et al. 2000). I-EUO evela kwiintlobo ezahlukeneyo ze-Eucalyptus iqulethe i-1,8-cineole, i-a-pinene, kunye ne-a-terpineol njengeekhompawundi eziphambili eziqhelekileyo (uJemâa et al. 2012). I-EUO ekumgangatho weyeza idla ngokutyetyiswa ukuya kuthi ga kwi-70% yoxinzelelo lwe-1,8-cineole.

Kutshanje, sicebise iteknoloji esekelwe kwiifilitha zefayibha ezigqunywe yi-TTO, saza saxela iziphumo zophando lokwenzeka kokubulala iintsholongwane kwiibhaktheriya (Pyankov et al. 2008) kunye nee-spores zefungal (Huang et al. 2010). Kwezi zifundo, i-TTO yasetyenziswa njengesixhobo sokuphucula ukusebenza kakuhle kwesihluzo kunye nesibulali-ntsholongwane kwii-aerosols zebhaktheriya kunye nefungal ezibanjwe kumphezulu wesihluzo. Xa sijonga umdla onamandla wangoku kuphando olunxulumene nomkhuhlane, olu phononongo luyaqhubeka ngokwengqiqo nophando lwethu lwangaphambili sigxile kuvavanyo lomsebenzi wokulwa neentsholongwane kwiioyile ezibalulekileyo (TTO kunye ne-EUO) ekuthinteleni intsholongwane ye-influenza emoyeni.
