Wavelength dependence of ultraviolet light inactivation for SARS-CoV-2 omicron variants

Abstract Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation offers an effective and convenient method for the disinfection of pathogenic microorganisms. However, UV irradiation causes protein and/or DNA damage; therefore, further insight into the performance of different UV wavelengths and their applications is needed to...
