Far Uvc News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the crucial importance of enhanced indoor air quality control measures to mitigate the spread of respiratory pathogens. Far-UVC is a type of germicidal ultraviolet technology, with wavelengths between 200 and 235 nm, that has emerged as a highly promising approach for indoor air disinfection. Due to its enhanced safety compared to conventional 254 nm upper-room germicidal systems, far-UVC allows for whole-room direct exposure of occupied spaces, potentially offering greater efficacy, since the total room air is constantly treated. While current evidence suppor...

Dr. Nardell continues his discussion of the benefits and potential challenges to the use of ultraviolet irradiation

Dr. Nardell, of Harvard University, is a preeminent researcher and practitioner in the field of airborne infections and the use of UV radiation to fight them.

The ability to disinfect indoor spaces remains a critical public health endeavor. Ultraviolet technology is an important tool that has been employed for more than a century. The report reviews the current issues behind air disinfection and the history of ultraviolet disinfection.

For the first time, a study has displayed the capability of Far-UVC to rapidly reduce airborne pathogens in a realistically sized room with normal ventilation and a constant source of airborne pathogens
