222 nm far-UVC light markedly reduces the level of infectious airborne virus in an occupied room
Abstract An emerging intervention for control of airborne-mediated pandemics and epidemics is whole-room far-UVC (200–235 nm). Laboratory studies have shown that 222-nm light inactivates airborne pathogens, potentially without harm to exposed occupants. While encouraging results have been reported i...
