ULTRAVIOLET DISINFECTION: REVOLUTIONIZING INFECTION CONTROL?

A novel technology is gaining traction the landscape of infection control: far-UVC disinfection. This method leverages a specific wavelength of ultraviolet light, known as far-UVC, to powerfully inactivate harmful microorganisms without posing a risk to human health. Unlike traditional UVC radiation, which can cause skin and eye damage, far-UVC is

Far-UVC light at a wavelength of 222 nm has emerged as a promising technology for disinfection. Unlike traditional UV methods, which can be harmful to human skin and eyes, Far-UVC light is unable to penetrate an outer layer of human tissue. This distinct property makes it harmless for use in occupied spaces. Far-UVC light effectively inactivates a
