triggering, by a latch sensor of the storage compartment, an actuation of a UV light component mounted within at least one wall of the storage compartment upon a latching of a door latch and compartment latch of the storage compartment; and

emitting, by the UV light component, UV light on outer surfaces of the parcel based on a detection of the latching by the latch sensor.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising directing, by a transparent housing of the storage compartment, naturally generated ultraviolet light toward the parcel surfaces within the storage compartment through the transparent housing.
