SARS-CoV-2 Inactivation on Hard Non-porous Airplane Cabin Material Surfaces was Limited After Exposure to Far UV-C (222 nm) Radiation.

Aims: To test the efficacy of 222 nm Far UV-C for surface disinfection of SARS-CoV-2 on inanimate surfaces from airplane cabins.

Methods And Results: Two far ultraviolet (UV-C) irradiation light systems were evaluated for disinfection of SARS-CoV-2. Materials used for carriers (test surfaces) included polished stainless steel and used airplane materials including seatbelt latches, window dust covers, sidewall laminates, and tray tables.
