Photoinactivation of SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus with UVA Radiation
The effect of SARS-CoV-2 inactivation has been established in the wavelength range of 343 to 401 nm. The results of determining the spectral sensitivity and threshold cycle for RNA fragments of SARS-CoV-2, when exposed to radiation in the human-safe UVA range, are presented. The findings can be used to create human-safe sources of virus eradication in public places.
