Mobile phone has become a source of pollution? Ultraviolet lamp disinfection works like this!
Effective disinfection of contaminated surfaces is essential to prevent the spread of hospital pathogens such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium difficile. Efforts to improve disinfection are mainly manifested in the high-frequency contact surface of the ward. H...Read more -
How often should your UV lamps be changed and why?
The frequency of changing a UV lamp for effective indoor air quality improvement depends on how you are using the system. Typically, a UV lamp being used primarily to disinfect the air circulating through a home or small office should be replaced every 9000 hours or approximately every 12 months...Read more -
UVC disinfection in indoor spaces
Drs Andrew Buchan and Liang Yang speak to HEQ about the potential of far-UVC for disinfecting indoor airflow. The risk of contracting COVID-19 has been shown to be significantly higher in spaces such as hospitals and long-term care facilities, exacerbated by the presence of high indoor populatio...Read more -
Disinfection and healing effects of 222-nm UVC light on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection in mouse wounds.
UVC radiation is known to be highly germicidal. However, exposure to 254-nm-UVC light causes DNA lesions such as cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) in human cells, and can induce skin cancer after long-term repeated exposures. It has been reported that short wavelength UVC is absorbed by protein...Read more -
AIR PURIFIER BENEFITS AND HOW THEY WORK
HOW INDOOR AIR PURIFIERS WORK Air purifiers use a system of internal fans to pull the air in your home through a series of filters that remove harmful airborne particles like dust, pollen and bacteria. The air purifier then circulate the purified air back into the room. This process repeats itsel...Read more -
Disinfection with Far-UV (222 nm Ultraviolet light)
An overview of Far-UV (222 nanometer) technology and its disinfection capability. An outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic is an increased need for safe, disinfected public spaces. It is imperative to reduce risk in the commercial aviation industry, which moved one billion people across the globe in 2...Read more -
Germicidal Lamp Technology
Germicidal Lamp Technology When researching UVC Germicidal Fixtures, you may come across several different types of lamp technologies and configurations. All UVC lamps essentially consist of a quartz envelope containing mercury and other gases and electrodes. When the lamp is struck, the energy b...Read more -
The Benefits of UV-C Disinfection
The Benefits of UV-C Disinfection Systems are Numerous, Including: Effective for all types of micro-organisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa No disinfection by-products (DBPs) formed Low capital and operating cost Easy to operate and maintain Safe and environmentally f...Read more -
Is 222nm UV Light safe?
There are many different wavelengths within the broad UV spectrum, each with their own potential application and safety profile. Higher wavelengths like UVA and UVB can be hazardous to your health, but UVC 222nm is safe for occupied indoor spaces ...Read more -
Effectiveness of 222nm Ultraviolet Light on Disinfecting SARS-CoV-2 Surface Contamination
A peer-reviewed study published in the American Journal of Infection Control examined the effectiveness of Far-UV 222 nm against the SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) on surfaces. In this study, a modest Far-UV 222 nm dose of 3 mJ/cm2 resulted in a 99.7% reduction in “viable” SARS-CoV-2...Read more -
FIGHTING COVID-19: USING ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT TO DECONTAMINATE CT SCANNERS
CT scans are vital to imaging lung diseases including COVID-19, but disinfecting the machines between use is time consuming. One team of researchers may have landed on a solution. Vanessa Wasta and Sarah Tarney / Published Dec 8 In an effort to streamline medical imaging workflow, researc...Read more
