| Abstract |
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is present in both respiratory secretions and feces, creating its potential for transmission by swimming pools. Recreational water activity is known to be at increased risk of respiratory infections and respiratory viruses have caused been detected and have caused outbreaks in swimming pools. However, little is known regarding the chlorine inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 in water typical of swimming pools in the USA. In this study, the inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 Isolate hCoV-19/USA-WA1/2020 was observed in water by chlorination. All experiments were conducted within a BSL-3 laboratory at room temperature. Our results show that the virus was reduced by 3.5 log (> 99.9%) after 30 s of 2.05-mg/L free chlorine contact and greater than 4.17 log (limit of detection) (> 99.99%) within 2 min. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 July 2023.
All research outputs
#15,474,106
of 25,834,578 outputs
Outputs from Food and Environmental Virology
#149
of 344 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#165,344
of 370,507 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Food and Environmental Virology
#1
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,834,578 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 344 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 370,507 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
