There is ongoing research into Far-UVC in both academic labs and private companies to certify the safety and efficacy of this type of gemicidal UVC and help develop low cost implementations. We hope the FDA will certify Far-UVC for use in occupied spaces.
Predicting airborne coronavirus inactivation by far-UVC in populated rooms using a high-fidelity coupled radiation-CFD model
" ... There are increased risks of contracting COVID-19 in hospitals and long-term care facilities, particularly for vulnerable groups. In these environments aerosolised coronavirus released through breathing increases the chance of spreading the disease. To reduce aerosol transmissions, the use of low dose far-UVC lighting to disinfect in-room air has been proposed. ..." " ... The model shows that disinfection rates are increased by a further 50-85% when using far-UVC within currently recommended exposure levels compared to the room’s ventilation alone. ..."
David Brenner joins TWiV to explain how far-UVC lights could provide protection from SARS-CoV-2 and other airborne viruses in public places, solutions to face mask fogging, transmission during airplane flights, and listener questions.
" ... Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has emerged as a serious threat to human health worldwide. Efficient disinfection of surfaces contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 may help prevent its spread. This study aimed to investigate the in vitro efficacy of 222-nm far-ultraviolet light (UVC) on the disinfection of SARS-CoV-2 surface contamination. ... "
Far-UVC Lamp Technology
Research into Far-UVC Lamp technology is accelerating rapidly in both academic labs and private companies. The holy grail of a Far-UVC 222 nm LED is a significant challenge but may be overcome soon.
World’s First Solid-State Far-UVC Light Emitter Shows How “Light Can Be Part of the Solution to COVID-19”. On the heels of new academic research showing the safety and efficacy of far-UVC light as a germicide, NS Nanotech has created a product to bring this technology to market.
Far-UVC Certification
Official certification of Far-UVC Lamp technology is currently moving slowly. We hope this will accelerate as more research studies prove the safety and efficacy of the technology.
Based on the evidence in the published literature and the collation of expert knowledge by the authors, the following conclusions can be drawn:
Far UV-C technology is currently dominated by one source type, the KrCl* lamp. Although alternate devices exist, they are not yet practically viable for disinfection applications. ..."
" ... Conclusion - Far UV-C radiation in the 200 – 225 nm range has been demonstrated as a broadband disinfectant. It is reasonable to assume that far UV-C will be effective in a wide range of disinfection applications for air and surface treatment. However, more work is required to understand the variation of its efficiency against a wider range of pathogens of interest and the suitability of each application must be assessed on a case-by-case basis....
