Short summary
This work demonstrates the feasibility of estimating the ultraviolet (UV) dose experienced by aerosols without using virus-containing droplets. We developed a model system using non-evaporating droplets containing UV-sensitive dyes. These dye-containing droplets were generated and then exposed to UV-C light in a custom-built irradiation chamber. The proposed method could aid in understanding the effect of the suspending medium and droplet size on the UV dose required for bioaerosol inactivation.
