We use the term “Far-UVC” to refer to a specific range within the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum. “Far” in this context is used to distinguish this range from
During the COVID-19 Pandemic, building owners were forced to focus on Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). Many owners found that their Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems were
Research suggests that to prevent common mould growth, low-dose far-UVC light could be applied as a chemical-free addition to manual cleaning of indoor surfaces.
The recognition that respiratory pathogens which cause COVID-19 were transmitted through airborne mechanisms was a critical insight into the nature of the disease and the need to decontaminate airborne spaces to eliminate these pathogens.
At least as long as human beings have lived in large, close groups, respiratory viruses have been present — sometimes an annoyance, sometimes a catastrophe.
Americans spend “an average of 87% of their time in enclosed buildings,” and air conditioning has been the transformative force in shaping the indoor environments we inhabit today.
As new challenges continue to arise in public health, drinking water, reuse water and wastewater treatment, air pollution, hospital infections, ballast water treatment and industrial effluents, new applications emerge for UV technologies.
With a new strain of COVID on the rise, and flu season just getting started, we thought now would be a good time to consider what the pandemic has taught us about preventing the spread of potentially deadly respiratory infections.
Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a serious threat to public health. It contributed to an estimated 4.95 million deaths in 2019, and a recent review commissioned by the government of the United Kingdom warns that antimicrobial resistance could result in the deaths of 10 million people annually by 2050.
Researchers from around the world are coming to Columbia University Irving Medical Center participate in the first scientific conference highlighting research on far-UVC light as a safe and effective technology for disinfecting indoor air.
