THE EFFECT OF UV-C LIGHT FROM SIGNIFY LAMPS ON THE VIRUS SARS-COV-2
See https://is.gd/x1QNL4 Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is an extensively tested, widely used and effective no-contact method for inactivating viral pathogens and the most common wavelength chosen is 254nm, where viral inactivation is attributed to direct UV-C light absorption and photochemical damage to nucleic acid, leading to the disruption of viral replication.STUDY UNDERTAKEN BY BOSTON UNIVERSITY AND SIGNIFY UV-C LAMP MANUFACTURERThis study describes the effectiveness of UV-C on inactivating wet and dried SARS-CoV-2 on contaminated surfaces. In particular, the efficacy of UV-C for inactivating SARS-CoV-2 in fluids (via respiratory droplets) is essential as the UV absorbance characteristics of fluid constituents may…
