Description
Motivated by the COVID-19 pandemic, research was conducted to evaluate UVC radiation emitting devices that are potentially capable of inactivating SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces found in the built environment to augment chemical-based surface disinfection approaches. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of a board-spectrum pulsed xenon light, a continuous UVC light-emitting diode (LED), and a Far UV light source against SARS-CoV-2. Experiments were conducted with the SARS-CoV-2 virus inoculated in either tissue culture media or simulated saliva onto porous and nonporous surfaces (three materials total). The dataset contains the log10 recoveries of SARS-CoV-2 (TCID50/sample) and calculated Log10 reductions for all tests.
