The Current Climate:

The quality and cleanliness of the environment in which we live all have a profound effect on our health and well-being. We’re all at risk of contracting or spreading viruses and bacteria. Some, notably the older and immunocompromised are more vulnerable than others. Regardless, we can all act as vectors, or transmitters of infection and become part of the problem. While our UV-C lights don't treat people directly, they can make a difference by helping to neutralize viruses and bacteria that might present a danger.

UV-C radiation is a known disinfectant for air, water and surfaces that can help mitigate the risk of acquiring an infection and has been used extensively for more than 40 years. Implementation of environmental cleaning and disinfection has been shown to reduce the incidences of healthcare-associated infections. All bacteria and viruses tested to date (many hundreds over the years, including various coronaviruses) respond to UV-C disinfection. Even aerosolized viruses have shown susceptibility to UV-C light. There is no question that UVC-light can play a major role in our future disinfection strategy.
