Does simulated solar disinfection (SODIS) inactivate enteric waterborne viruses?
Simulated solar disinfection completely inactivates coxsackievirus-B5, poliovirus-2, and hepatitis A virus within 1-2 hours, suggesting its potential for water purification.
Heaselgrave et al. (2012) studied this question.
