At Columbia University we have developed a new technology, using the power of light, which has every promise of limiting the spread of coronavirus, as well as more familiar viruses like influenza and measles. Click here for more information. http://www.columbia.edu/~djb3/Far%20UVC.html
According to the physicist Charlie Ironside, our ability to deal with future deadly pandemics could be better – if we look to the far-ultraviolet. Jon Cartwright reports on a call to arms for the LED industry The potential of far-ultraviolet light for the next pandemic
June 25, 2020 — More than 99.9% of seasonal coronaviruses present in airborne droplets were killed when exposed to a particular wavelength of ultraviolet light that is safe to use around humans, a new study at Columbia University Irving Medical Center has found. https://www.cathlabdigest.com/content/type-uv-light-called-far-uvc-safe-use-around-people-and-kills-999-airborne-coronaviruses-study
A team of scientists at Columbia University Irving Medical Center has demonstrated that low doses of 222-nm far ultraviolet C (far-UVC) light inactivate 99.9% of aerosolized seasonal coronaviruses HCoV-229E and HCoV-OC43. As all human coronaviruses have similar genomic sizes, far-UVC light would be expected to show similar inactivation efficiency against SARS-CoV-2 and other human coronaviruses. […]
More than 99.9% of seasonal coronaviruses present in airborne droplets were killed when exposed to a particular wavelength of ultraviolet light that is safe to use around humans, a new study at the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University Irving Medical Center has found. https://www.cuimc.columbia.edu/news/far-uvc-light-safely-kills-airborne-coronaviruses
June 25, 2020 — More than 99.9% of seasonal coronaviruses present in airborne droplets were killed when exposed to a particular wavelength of ultraviolet light that is safe to use around humans, a new study at Columbia University Irving Medical Center has found. “Based on our results, continuous airborne disinfection with far-UVC light at the […]
Joint research between Kobe University and Ushio Inc. has provided proof for the first time in the world that direct and repetitive illumination from 222nm ultraviolet radiation C (UVC), which is a powerful sterilizer, does not cause skin cancer. This suggests that 222nm UVC is also safe for human eyes and skin. This technology is […]
A technology startup has begun marketing two-wheel robots equipped with movable germicidal lamps to emit a safe form of ultraviolet light called Far-UVC to sanitize hard-to-reach areas in subway trains, classrooms, restaurants and offices in another attempt to control the spread of COVID-19. https://www.fierceelectronics.com/electronics/how-far-uvc-germkiller-robot-will-battle-covid-19
