Spectra of Photobiological Inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 by Solar UVB Radiation (280–320 nm).

Primary photoacceptors and spectra of photobiological inactivation of the SARS-CoV-2 molecular structures (genome and S-spike protein) by UVB radiation were determined for the first time based on experimental ground-based observations of the intensity and spectrum of solar UVB radiation in Tomsk (56°29′ N, 84°56.89′ E) from March 26, 2020, to March 26, 2021, and the analysis of works on the structure and chemical molecular composition of SARS-CoV-2.
