Environmental chemistry is most relevant to study coronavirus pandemics 2020-05-20 .txt text/plain 1326 85 42 In the environment, SARS-CoV-2 may survive in the air, on the surfaces, in water and wastewater (Qu et al. Systematically designed experiments will help us gain insight into the virus survival on various surfaces, thus minimizing the exposure of the novel coronavirus to the humans. During wastewater treatment, oxidants and disinfectants can inactivate enveloped viruses (Manoli et al. Research on enveloped-virus transmission and on the treatment of wastewater must include a wide range of enveloped viruses. The recommendation of using oxidants and disinfectants to inactivate SARS-CoV-2 must be experimentally based, which includes testing dose demand and contact time under the environmental conditions at which the virus would be presented. Overall, research in environmental chemistry is disclosing unique knowledge that may help to understand the behavior of viruses and other microbial pathogens in the environment. An imperative need for research on the role of environmental factors in transmission of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) ./cache/cord-257008-7q5s1vu1.txt ./txt/cord-257008-7q5s1vu1.txt
