Sunlight Neutralizes COVID-19 8 Times Faster Than Assumed | IE – Interesting Engineering

Researchers from UC Santa Barbara, Oregon State University, University of Manchester and ETH Zurich are calling for a closer look at sunlight’s ability to neutralize SARS-CoV-2 after finding that the most recent study on the matter was not up to par.
The team compared data from a July 2020 study that reported rapid sunlight inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 in a lab setting, with a theory of coronavirus inactivation by solar radiation that was published just a month earlier.
They noticed that the virus…
