The COVID-19 pandemic is driving the search for new antiviral techniques. Bacteria and fungi are known to be inactivated not only by ultraviolet radiation but also visible light. Several studies have recently appeared on this subject, in which viruses were mainly irradiated media. However, it an open question what extent applied media, especially their riboflavin concentration, can influence re...

Wastewater disinfection is used in many countries for reducing fecal coliform levels in effluents. Disinfection is therefore frequently used to improve recreational bathing waters which do not comply with microbiological standards. It is unknown whether human enteric viruses (which are responsible for waterborne disease) are simultaneously inactivated alongside fecal coliforms. This laboratory ...

In this review, inactivation and activation of microorganisms using fine bubbles are introduced. the first chapter, we introduce domestic overseas research trends sterilization methods ozone plasma. second focus on researches such as cleaning lipstick at cosmetic application, generation plasma-activated microbubbles for fresh foods verification underwater plasma characteristics under bubble dis...

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 of virus inactivation by UV254, particularly emerging difficult-to-culture viruses. We conducted systematic literature review rate constants wide range Using these data characteristics, we developed evaluated line...

Human plasma-derived protein concentrates intended for clinical use must be treated for viral inactivation to ensure patient safety. This study explored the use of liquid iodine for inactivation of several lipid- and nonlipid-enveloped viruses in an antithrombin III (AT-III) concentrate. Iodine at levels of 0.01% to 0.02% caused between 43% and 94% loss of AT-III activity, as well as degradatio...
