[h=1]Extermination of influenza virus H1N1 by a new visible-light-induced photocatalyst under fluorescent light.[/h] Choi SY[SUP]1[/SUP], Cho B[SUP]2[/SUP].
[h=3]Author information[/h]
[h=3]Abstract[/h] A new visible-light-induced photocatalyst based on several transition metals (iron, magnesium and manganese)-loaded TiO[SUB]2[/SUB] was evaluated for its anti-viral activity with influenza virus H1N1. Under a fluorescent lamp of 1000 lx, λ > 410 nm, the virus was eradicated to more than 99% within 30 min. Since this photocatalyst can be used for coating plastics, wall papers and walls, it would be desirable to use this photocatalyst to reduce viral transmission via droplets and aerosols as well as surface contact for disinfection.
