In particular, the radiation time required for liposome destruction (using a short-wavelength UV sterilization 20 W bulb, which is similar to the Spectroline Germicidal UV Sterilizing Lamp) is 3 min.

Germicidal Ultraviolet (GUV) technology can be used as an advanced engineering control to reduce the spread of respiratory infections without changing existing patient care practices.

Among these approaches, germicidal lamps utilizing ultraviolet (UV) rays, particularly UV-C (wavelength ranging from 280 to 100 nm), have gained prominence for domestic use.

A new research paper was published in Aging, entitled, “Germicidal lamps using UV-C radiation may pose health safety issues: a biomolecular analysis of their effects on apoptosis and ...

A new research paper titled "Germicidal lamps using UV-C radiation may pose health safety issues: a biomolecular analysis of their effects on apoptosis and senescence" has been published in Aging.

This research investigated UV-C light irradiance from tubular (L = 0.9 m) light bulbs at near distances inside an air cleaner prototype duct under three power output (1-, 4-, and 8-bulb) scenarios and ...

Germicidal danger While useful for killing pathogens like those that cause covid-19 and the flu, sanitizing ultraviolet lights may cause unwanted chemical reactions that create indoor air pollution.

While useful for killing pathogens including SARS-CoV-2, 222-nanometer UV lights may produce harmful compounds in indoor spaces, and should be used with ventilation, MIT researchers have ...
