Survival of aerosolized bacteriophage phiX174 in air containing ozone olefin mixtures
article
The effects of ozone and ozonized olefins on aerosol survival of bacteriophage phiX174 were studied. The ozone concentrations used were between 0 and 110 parts/109, giving decay rates up to 0.03 min-1. The olefins used were trans 2 butene and cyclohexene in concentrations of 500 parts/109 and 2.4 parts/106, respectively. Olefins alone have no effect, whereas in combination with ozone, decay rates of 0.1 min-1 and higher were obtained. The results are discussed in relation to the viricidal effect of open air.
