Aerosol and surface stability of SARS-CoV-2 as compared with SARS-CoV-1 [link]Website  doi  abstract   bibtex   1 download  
Study measures the survival of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV-1 on several different materials and in nebulised aerosols in a Goldberg drum using TCID50 to measure viable virus concentration. The duration of the aerosol experiment (nebulised aerosol in a Goldberg drum, RH 65%, 21-23 °C) was 3 hours over which a TCID50 drop of around 85% was observed for SARS-CoV-2. It appeared to follow an exponential decay with a half life of 2.7 hours. This was similar in both SARS-CoV-1 and 2. Surface survival was best on plastic and stainless steel. Viable virus could still be detected after 72 hours but TCID50 had dropped by 2 orders of magnitude. Surface survival also followed an exponential decay.
