NOVEL HYDROXY RADICAL GENERATION METHOD, AND ANTI-VIRAL MATERIAL UTILIZING HYDROXYL RADICAL GENERATED BY THE METHOD

摘要

Disclosed is a novel hydroxy radical generation method which relies on a novelscientific fact relating to the generationof a hydroxy radical and the inactivation of a virus. Also disclosed is ananti-viral material produced by utilizing the method.The anti-viral material comprises a metal oxide powder and a hydroxide whichenable the generation of a hydroxy radical that caninactivate a virus. An virus can be inactivated by the action of the hydroxyradical generated from the anti-viral material.
