222 nm far-UVC light markedly reduces the level of infectious airborne virus in an occupied room.

A new study published in Scientific Reports shows that Far-UVC light at 222 nm can effectively kill airborne pathogens. The research, conducted in a room-sized chamber, found that Far-UVC light can greatly reduce harmful viruses like influenza and coronaviruses without harming human skin or eyes....

Dramatically Less DNA Damage from Far-UVC Lamps Krypton Chloride (222 nm) than from Sunlight Exposure

This study aims to investigate, with computer modeling, the DNA damage (assessed by cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) formation) from far-ultraviolet C (far-UVC) in comparison with sunlight exposure in both a temperate (Harwell, England) and Mediterranean (Thessaloniki, Greece) climate...

Far-UVC light (222 nm) efficiently and safely inactivates airborne human coronaviruses.

Far-UVC light (207–222 nm) efficiently kills pathogens potentially without harm to exposed human tissues. We previously demonstrated that 222-nm far-UVC light efficiently kills airborne influenza virus and we extend those studies to explore far-UVC efficacy against airborne human coronaviruses...
