Using UV-C Light for Personal Airborne Pathogen Protection
Courtesy of Respiray OU
Our scientists and engineers have put together a white paper to show UV-C light’s effectiveness in inactivating airborne pathogens.
This white paper addresses the issues with current personal airborne pathogen protection (PAPP) methods and describes a new wearable device with UV-C light disinfection for PAPP. The device uses UV-C light at wavelengths around 265 nm, reaching peak efficiency of pathogen inactivation. The main causes of pathogen inactivation using UV-C are mutations in genetic code that lead to a loss of reproductive ability. Our personal device reduces the infectivity of airborne pathogens in breathable air, allowing the immune system to prepare a better response against the active species. The paper also refutes claims of hazardous ozone emissions during UV-C disinfection and shows that at the utilised wavelength, ozone destruction takes place instead.
