Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic situation, measures to mitigate the risk of transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in an indoor setting are urgently needed. Among the various types of disinfectant methods, electrostatic spraying is often applied to decontamination in public places. For quantitatively characterizing electrostatic spraying, we developed the novel evaluation method by using a fluorescent tracer. By applying this method, we performed three different experiment cases (static test on a table, static test on a cylinder, and dynamic test on a table) to figure out its unique characteristics (Coulombic fission and wraparound effect) and measure its performance in various aspects. To be specific, bimodal distribution with peak sizes of ~10 and ~100 mum was found due to Coulombic fission. Otherwise, a unimodal distribution with a peak size of ~100 mum occurred for the uncharged droplets. As a result, the effective contact area increased by 40-80 % due to small progeny droplets. The wraparound effect was examined on two different cylinders: copper (Cu) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe. When the target surface was not charged (Cu 0 kV and PVC 0 kV), the average normalized concentrations on the backside of the cylinder (theta = 180 degrees ) increased by around 67 % for charged droplets. Meanwhile, when the target surface was highly charged (PVC -19 kV), the average normalized concentrations at theta = 180 degrees were increased more than two times for charged droplets.
