UV disinfection of viruses frequently leads to tailing after an initial exponential decay.
Aggregation, light shielding, recombination, or resistant virus subpopulations have been …

UV254 disinfection strategies are commonly applied to inactivate pathogenic viruses in
water, food, air, and on surfaces. There is a need for methods that rapidly predict the kinetics …

This study investigated whether colloid-sized particles can enmesh and protect viruses from
254-nm ultraviolet (UV) light and sought to determine the particle characteristics (eg size …

Ultraviolet (UV) devices emitting UVC irradiation (200–280 nm) have proven to be effective
for virus disinfection, especially on surfaces and in air, due to their rapid effectiveness and …

UVA and UVB can be applied to solar disinfection of water. In this study, the inactivation and
photoreactivation of viruses and bacteria in the UVA-B range were analyzed. MS2 and T4 …

We investigated the potential for photoreactivation to restore infectivity to sunlight-damaged
natural viral communities in offshore (chlorophyll a,< 0.1 microgram liter-1), coastal …

MS2 inactivation by UV irradiance was investigated with the focus on how the disinfection
efficacy is influenced by bacteriophage MS2 aggregation and adsorption to particles in …

Adenovirus is a focus of the water treatment community because of its resistance to
standard, monochromatic low-pressure (LP) UV irradiation. Recent research has shown that …

Aims: The objective of this study was to estimate UV254 inactivation constants for four viral
pathogens: influenza virus type A, porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus …

Viral disinfection kinetics have been studied in depth, but the molecular-level inactivation
mechanisms are not understood. Consequently, it is difficult to predict the disinfection …
