Can Far-UVC combat the flu virus?

Absolutely. Far-UVC is great at neutralizing the flu virus, helping to cut down the spread of illnesses indoors.

The study conducted by researchers demonstrated that Far-UVC light, even at low doses, has the ability to rapidly deactivate airborne influenza viruses. This groundbreaking discovery highlights the effectiveness of UV222 in combating the transmission of airborne diseases within communal spaces where individuals congregate. This research sheds light on the promising potential of Far-UVC light as a valuable tool in controlling and preventing the spread of microbial illnesses through the air.
