This wavelength is shorter than the traditional UVC wavelength (around 254nm) used for disinfection purposes but is considered safer for humans while still being effective at killing bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.
Wavelength (222nm): The 222nm wavelength is specifically effective in breaking down the DNA or RNA of pathogens, viruses and bacteria.
Safety for Humans: Unlike conventional UVC light (typically in the 254nm range), Far UV 222nm is considered to be safe for human exposure because it cannot penetrate the outer layer of the skin or the eyes, thus avoiding harm to tissues. This makes it suitable for use in occupied spaces for continuous disinfection.
Applications: These lamps are used in various environments like hospitals, schools, offices, public transportation, and even home settings to continuously disinfect air, surfaces, and objects without posing a health risk to people.
Effectiveness: Far UV 222nm lamps are proven to inactivate a wide range of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi, without the need for chemical disinfectants.
- Environment: Far UV lamps are environmental safe as they don’t use mercury.
