Abstract
An inactivation device inactivates microorganisms and/or viruses present in a space where a person is present by irradiating the space with ultraviolet light. The inactivation device includes a mobile body movable in the space, a drive section that drives the mobile body, an ultraviolet light irradiation unit provided with an ultraviolet light source emitting light including ultraviolet light having a wavelength that inactivates microorganisms and/or viruses, and a controller that controls the irradiation of the light from the ultraviolet light source. The ultraviolet light source is either an excimer lamp or an LED, and the ultraviolet light included in the light emitted from the ultraviolet light source includes ultraviolet light having a wavelength range from 200 nm to 240 nm. The ultraviolet light irradiation unit is fixed to the mobile body.
