This proposed project is intended to build a UVC disinfection chamber and a handheld device to treat surfaces contaminated with coronavirus and other pathogens. It builds on existing promise of UV based disinfection and our research experience in designing and application of UV based treatment systems. In this project, effective UVC disinfection systems will be developed to help reduce the transmission of COVID-19 and other diseases through surface routes. The outcome of this project will lead to development of a UVC disinfection chamber and a handheld UVC-LED disinfection unit which can be used to inactivate the virus on personal items such as keys, laptop as well as surfaces such as tabletops and handrails. The success of this project will lead to the development of commercial UV based disinfection units through partnership with Nemalux Industrial and other Canadian environmental and manufacturing companies.

本拟议项目旨在建造一个紫外线消毒室和一个手持设备，以处理被冠状病毒和其他病原体污染的表面。它建立在现有的紫外线消毒的承诺和我们在设计和应用紫外线处理系统的研究经验。该项目将开发有效的紫外线消毒系统，以帮助减少COVID-19和其他疾病通过地面途径的传播。该项目的成果将导致紫外线消毒室和手持式紫外线LED消毒装置的开发，可用于在个人物品（如钥匙，笔记本电脑）以及桌面和扶手等表面上消除病毒。该项目的成功将导致通过与Nemalux Industrial和其他加拿大环境和制造公司合作开发商业紫外线消毒装置。
