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

See t.ly/tlro — A direct approach to limit airborne viral transmissions is to inactivate them within a short time of their production. Germicidal ultraviolet light, typically at 254 nm, is effective in this context but, used directly, can be a health hazard to skin and eyes.
