In this communication, we propose the combination of acceleration of pathogens between the elements of metamaterial together with the repacking procedure of earlier proposed metamaterials, which may improve the decontamination rate using the traditional sources of ultraviolet C radiation (200-280 nm). The first method is connected with the acceleration of pathogens (viruses and bacteria) diluted in the fluid between the elements of transparent in UVC radiation which have the refraction index relative larger than in the fluids (water, blood, air, etc.). The second effect is the continuation of repacking of proposed metamaterials consisted of big spheres (or thick fiber) with smaller ones (thin fibers) in order to improve the contact surface between the UVC radiation and fluid. © 2021 The Author(s)
