Mapping of UV-C dose and SARS-CoV-2 viral inactivation across N95 respirators during decontamination
Abstract During public health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic, ultraviolet-C (UV-C) decontamination of N95 respirators for emergency reuse has been implemented to mitigate shortages. Pathogen photoinactivation efficacy depends critically on UV-C dose, which is distance- and angle-dependent and thu...
