CleanSlate UV is a Toronto-based biosafety company with a focus on creating the next generation of intelligentUV-C sanitization solutions. The technology used at CleanSlate UV is based on a process that harnesses UV-C light delivered at a dosage that kills pathogens. There are numerous studies that indicate the effectiveness ofUV-C light on hard, non-porous materials, but little is known about the efficacy and effect of UV-C light onporous materials. CleanSlate UV is collaborating with Seneca's School of Biological Science and AppliedChemistry to expand the applications of CleanSlate UV's UV-C irradiation device and determine the effect of UV-C exposure on the efficacy of disinfection and integrity of porous materials. The focus is on materials that comprise commonly high-touched items like paper, passports, and cardboard. This use case enables a greater application of UV-C sanitizing solutions to be utilized in stopping the chain of infectious pathogens (i.e.COVID-19) and subsequently accelerating global economic recovery from the pandemic. The results willenable CleanSlate UV to provide guidance on safe disinfection exposure rates on a suite of porous materialscommonly used in today's COVID-19 relevant world.

CleanSlate UV是一家总部位于多伦多的生物安全公司，专注于创造下一代智能UV-C消毒解决方案。CleanSlate UV使用的技术基于一种利用UV-C光的过程，该光的剂量可以杀死病原体。有许多研究表明UV-C光对坚硬的无孔材料的有效性，但对UV-C光对多孔材料的功效和影响知之甚少。CleanSlate UV正在与Seneca的生物科学和生物化学学院合作，以扩大CleanSlate UV的UV-C照射设备的应用，并确定UV-C暴露对多孔材料的消毒效果和完整性的影响。重点是材料，包括通常高接触的物品，如纸张，护照和纸板。该用例使UV-C消毒解决方案能够更广泛地应用于阻止传染性病原体（即COVID-19）链，并随后加速全球经济从大流行中复苏。这些结果将使CleanSlate UV能够为当今COVID-19相关世界中常用的一套多孔材料的安全消毒暴露率提供指导。
