Efficacy of photoClO2 against two human norovirus surrogates and <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> endospores on stainless steel and nylon carpet
ClO2 production rate of the photoClO2 system was influenced by light distribution, while disinfection efficacy was affected by light intensity, surface characteristics, and target microorganisms. PhotoClO2 was efficacious in inactivating both human norovirus surrogates on stainless steel and nylon carpet. Efficacy against C. difficile endospores was limited.
