Far-UVC Light Safely Kills Airborne Coronaviruses
In the study, the researchers used a misting device to aerosolize two common coronaviruses.
The aerosols containing coronavirus
were then flowed through the air in front of a far-UVC lamp.
After exposure to far-UVC light, the researchers tested to see how many of the viruses were still alive.
The researchers found that more than 99.9% of the exposed virus had been killed by a very low exposure to far-UVC light.
Based on their results,
the researchers estimate that continuous exposure to far-UVC light at the current regulatory limit would kill 90% of airborne viruses in about 8 minutes,
95% in about 11 minutes,
99% in about 16 minutes, and
99.9% in about 25 minutes.
