"Study Demonstrates Far-UVC Light's Ability to Eradicate Airborne Viruses in Occupied Spaces"
A study by Columbia researchers demonstrates that far-UVC light can effectively inactivate airborne viruses in occupied indoor spaces, reducing infectious airborne viruses by over 99% in a real-life scenario. This technology, which has a shorter wavelength than conventional UVC light and does not penetrate or harm living skin or eyes, shows promise for continuous decontamination of rooms while people are present. The study's findings suggest that far-UVC light could provide significant protection against airborne disease transmission in indoor environments.
