Enhanced Disinfection of Adenoviruses with UV Irradiation

Abstract

Ultraviolet technology is a tool to disinfect water. The project investigates the UV inactivation of adenovirus, comparing two common UV technologies—low and medium pressure lamps—and two methods of adenovirus infectivity assays—cell culture and a mouse animal model.

Originally funded as WERF project Reuse-06-11.
