Zinc oxide is a white, crystalline solid that has been used as an antimicrobial agent in the past. It is effective against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. The inhibitory properties of zinc oxide are due to its ability to disrupt energy metabolism. Zinc oxide also has been shown to be toxic to neurons in vitro and is under investigation for use in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Zinc oxide is also used in wastewater treatment because it can bind up metal ions such as copper chloride or zirconium oxide. Zinc oxide nanoparticles have been shown to be effective at killing bacteria in water vapor when irradiated with laser light.
