| description | Slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW), an effective non-thermal virucidal treatment, is used widely to prevent infectious viral cross-contamination. Surface disinfection technologies using ultraviolet C-light-emitting diode (UVC-LED) irradiation have recently attracted considerable attention. The SAEW sprayer technique is an efficient approach to preventing the spread of infectious viral pathogens in the public healthcare sector. Therefore, we investigated a small-scale system comprising sprayed SAEW disinfection combined with UVC-LED irradiation to inactivate the human norovirus (HuNoV) in the environment. A stainless-steel surface was inoculated with a HuNoV genogroup II genotype 4 (GII.4) to achieve maximum reduction values of 3.21 log10 genomic copies. For optimal disinfection conditions, the response surface methodology based on the Box–Behnken design revealed that the specific treatment conditions for inactivation of HuNoV GII.4 were an SAEW droplet volume of 180 μL, 30 ppm available chlorine concentration of SAEW, and a UVC-LED exposure dose of 2 mJ/cm2. The results indicate that the combined disinfection treatment could efficiently prevent the spread of HuNoVs in environment. Furthermore, the quadratic polynomial equations of the 3-D response surface can be employed to predict the effects of combined disinfection treatment on HuNoV contamination on environmental surfaces. Therefore, sprayed SAEW disinfection combined with UVC-LED irradiation proposed in this study may offer insights for designing optimal control strategies and techniques to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases, particularly HuNoV. |
