How China Disinfects Their Airports

In Aviation

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the CAAC (Civil Aviation Administration of China), the aviation authority responsible for China, has released a guideline for airport management to help prevent the spread of coronavirus in airport settings. Within the guideline, the CAAC highlights chlorine dioxide as a daily preventative multipurpose disinfecting agent for air disinfection and ventilation cleaning and for disinfection of high-touch surfaces such as kiosks and check-in countertops, crowded places, elevator buttons, handrails, etc. Chlorine dioxide is also an adopted measure for when suspected or confirmed cases are present and/or passengers are displaying COVID-like symptoms; chlorine dioxide, in this case, is sprayed throughout the terminal and on terminal surfaces, especially densely packed passenger areas and contaminated areas.

For air disinfection, chlorine dioxide (250 mg/L) is applied as a spray in the air and in ventilation systems for no less than 30 minutes. For surface disinfection on high-touch surfaces, 250 mg/L chlorine dioxide solution is sprayed and wiped. For terminal disinfection, 500 mg/L chlorine dioxide is applied in the air in the enclosed space for at least 60 minutes then ventilated and wiped down on surfaces.
