Snippet: Aims: To evaluate the efficacy of lowâ€concentration chlorine dioxide (ClO(2)) gas against model microbes in the wet state on a glass surface. Methods and Results: We set up a test room (39 m(3)) and the ClO(2) gas was produced by a ClO(2) gas generator that continuously releases a constant lowâ€concentration ClO(2) gas. Influenza A virus (Fluâ€A), feline calicivirus (FCV), Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were chosen as the model microbes. The lowâ€concentration ClO(2) gas (mean 0
Document: Aims: To evaluate the efficacy of lowâ€concentration chlorine dioxide (ClO(2)) gas against model microbes in the wet state on a glass surface. Methods and Results: We set up a test room (39 m(3)) and the ClO(2) gas was produced by a ClO(2) gas generator that continuously releases a constant lowâ€concentration ClO(2) gas. Influenza A virus (Fluâ€A), feline calicivirus (FCV), Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were chosen as the model microbes. The lowâ€concentration ClO(2) gas (mean 0·05 ppmv, 0·14 mg m(−3)) inactivated Fluâ€A and E. coli (>5 log(10) reductions) and FCV and S. aureus (>2 log(10) reductions) in the wet state on glass dishes within 5 h. Conclusions: The treatment of wet environments in the presence of human activity such as kitchens and bathrooms with the lowâ€concentration ClO(2) gas would be useful for reducing the risk of infection by bacteria and viruses residing on the environmental hard surfaces without adverse effects. Significance and Impact of the Study: This study demonstrates that the lowâ€concentration ClO(2) gas (mean 0·05 ppmv) inactivates various kinds of microbes such as Gramâ€positive and Gramâ€negative bacteria, enveloped and nonenveloped viruses in the wet state.
