Far-UVC light found to eradicate airborne viruses in public spaces, offering a low-cost, safe, effective solution for slowing the spread of flu

Researchers from Columbia University have looked into the possibility of using far ultraviolet-C (far-UVC) light as a possible tool to mitigate the risk of airborne-mediated microbial diseases. The researchers reported that continuous low doses of far-UVC light could be enough to affect aerosol-transmitted airborne viruses negatively. The ability of ultraviolet light to kill airborne flu virus particles […]
