A literature review of ultraviolet inactivation rate constants ( k -values) for the most frequently studied microorganisms (1854-RP)

2025-06-23

Abstract excerpt

The UV inactivation rate constant (k-value) is a critical parameter for designing germicidal UV (GUV) systems. However, significant variability in reported k-values in the literature creates uncertainty. We conducted a comprehensive literature review of 360 papers and determined design k-values for seven important pathogenic microorganisms: Influenza virus, Human coronavirus, Adenovirus, Staphylococcus, Clostridio...
