Abstract During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2), viral transport, fate, disinfection and environmental release in wastewater treatment plants have been issues of high importance for overall management. Although a huge number scientific publications related to coronaviruses published, studies on different aspects strategies deal with SARS‐CoV‐2 abatement is still relatively limited results are often confusing. To define real risks public health environment, we performed systematic review identified 96 papers from PubMed database. We focused treatments how type level affect virological quality effluents, role disinfectants, medical wastewater, new technologies, as well low‐ middle‐income countries. It was concluded that, general, well‐designed well‐functioning (WWTPs) on‐site reliable sanitation systems may significantly limit risk SARS‐CoV‐2. The development cost‐effective decentralized water facilities countries should be enhanced. Lessons learned during COVID‐19 pandemic regard expected support an improved detection, response containment future outbreaks. © 2023 Authors.

This work presents a large-scale surface disinfection system, which has unique lantern arrangement of ultraviolet-C (UV-C) light (254 nm) in conjunction with nanotechnology protective biosafety environment. Shadow regions are best dealt this system by the generation hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and negative air ions at sites where UV cannot penetrate. More than 35 000 ions/cm3 along •OH were produced continuously chamber through advanced photocatalytic oxidation process [UV-C + titanium dioxide (TiO2)]. The been made to provide an optimized irradiation (∼2 mW/cm2) throughout system. In order distinguish between effects arising from (i) action dose alone (ii) ions, E. coli P. aeruginosa chosen for bacterial testing two interventions made. first intervention involved placing only lamps see effect on inactivation efficiency. second TiO2 nanoparticle coated aluminum plates lamps; allows inside enhanced 95% efficiency reported case UV-C compared 77% same time interval (90 s).
