Evaluation of altered environmental conditions as a decontamination approach for SARS-CoV-2 when applied to aircraft related materials.

SARS-CoV-2 was readily inactivated below limit of quantitation (LOQ) for all materials inoculated using synthetic saliva vehicle within 6 hours when exposed to environmental conditions of 51.7°C and RH ≥ 25%. Synthetic lung fluid vehicle did not follow the general trend of an increase in RH resulting in increased efficacy. The lung fluid performed best at the 20-25% RH range to achieve complete inactivation below LOQ.
