Design optimization and validation of UV-C illumination chamber for filtering facepiece respirators

In this study, we constructed an UV-C illumination chamber using commercially available germicidal lamps and other locally available low-cost components for general-purpose biological decontamination purposes. The illumination chamber provides uniform illumination of around 1 J/cm2 in under 5 min ac...
