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 other parts of the UV spectrum. This range has recently attracted attention because studies suggest that Far-UVC light can inactivate viruses and bacteria without harm to human skin and eyes, even at higher doses. Thus, it is being explored for its potential to disinfect occupied public spaces safely.
