UVC rays – an effective way to prevent future pandemics

The method of inactivating the virus by irradiating UVC at a long distance is being tested by US scientists, and will most likely be used in daily life in the coming years to protect everyone’s health and safety. as well as prevent possible pandemics.

Short waves of ultraviolet light (UVC) can inactivate viruses and bacteria without penetrating the skin, say physicists from Columbia University’s College of Dental Medicine in New York City. people, so it won’t burn the skin or cause cancer cells like sunlight.

Tests at Leeds hospital in the north of England, show it can neutralize up to 98% of viruses and bacteria within 5 minutes.

After the pandemic, many types of UVC generators are being used to ensure the safety of public areas. This method is likely to be used on a larger scale in crowded places such as theaters and supermarkets to help prevent future pandemics.
