cord-332303-0bbw64p5	Schuit, Michael	Airborne SARS-CoV-2 is Rapidly Inactivated by Simulated Sunlight	2020-06-11		.txt	text/plain	3598	241	54	This study examined the effect of simulated sunlight, relative humidity, and suspension matrix on the stability of SARS-CoV-2 in aerosols. Therefore, the present study examined the influence of both simulated sunlight and relative humidity on the stability of SARS-CoV-2 in aerosols generated from virus suspended in different liquid matrices. Two different environmentally controlled rotating drum aerosol chambers, with volumes of 16-L and 208-L, were used in the present study to expose aerosols containing SARS-CoV-2 to controlled levels of temperature, relative humidity, and simulated sunlight. The present study examined the influence of simulated sunlight and relative humidity on the stability of SARS-CoV-2 in aerosols generated from virus suspended in either simulated saliva or culture medium at 20°C. The half-lives estimated from the mean decay constants across all relative humidity levels without simulated sunlight present were 55 and 86 minutes for aerosols generated from virus suspended in culture medium and simulated saliva, respectively.	./cache/cord-332303-0bbw64p5.txt	./txt/cord-332303-0bbw64p5.txt
