Development of a standard evaluation method for microbial UV sensitivity using light-emitting diodes

“…Photocatalysis is an inactivation method that utilizes a chemical reaction when a catalyst is combined with visible or UV light, and has advantages in terms of cost, chemical stability, and environmental friendliness. Photocatalysts are being actively researched mainly in the field of water disinfection because they can decompose contaminants as well as inactivate microorganisms in water [ [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] ]. On the other hand, UV inactivation, which inactivates microorganisms with UV light itself, is attracting attention in a wide range of fields, including not only water but also human living spaces and foods, because it does not produce any residue after inactivation and does not alter the quality of the object.…”
