Researchers from UC Santa Barbara, Oregon State University, University of Manchester and ETH Zurich\u00a0are calling\u00a0for a closer look at sunlight’s ability to neutralize\u00a0SARS-CoV-2 after finding that the most recent study on the matter was not up to par.<\/p>\n

\"Sunlight-Neutralizes-SARS-CoV-2<\/p>\n

The team\u00a0compared data from a July 2020\u00a0study\u00a0that reported rapid sunlight inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 in a lab setting, with a\u00a0theory of coronavirus inactivation by solar radiation that was\u00a0published just a month earlier.<\/p>\n

They noticed that the virus was inactivated as much as eight times faster in experiments than the most recent theoretical model predicted.\u00a0\u201cThe theory assumes that inactivation works by having UV-B hit the RNA of the virus, damaging it,\u201d UC Santa Barbara mechanical engineering professor and lead author\u00a0Paolo Luzzatto-Fegiz\u00a0said in a statement.<\/p>\n

However, the research team felt that RNA inactivation by UV-B \u201cmight not be the whole story.\u201d The scientists speculated that there\u00a0could be another mechanism at play aside from RNA inactivation by UV-B rays such as UV-A, the less energetic component of sunlight.<\/p>\n

\"Sunlight-Neutralizes-SARS-CoV-2<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople think of UV-A as not having much of an effect, but it might be interacting with some of the molecules in the medium,\u201d Luzzatto-Fezig explained. Those molecules in turn could be interacting with the virus, speeding up inactivation.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, scientists don\u2019t yet know what\u2019s going on,\u201d Luzzatto-Fegiz said; \u201cOur analysis points to the need for\u00a0additional experiments\u00a0to separately test the effects of specific light wavelengths and medium composition.\u201d<\/p>\n

If UV-A turns out to be capable of inactivating the coronavirus, this could prove very fruitful as there are now many types of inexpensive\u00a0LED bulbs\u00a0that are even stronger than natural sunlight. UV-A could also potentially be used to amplify the effect of air filtration systems at relatively low risk for human health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n
