Fungicidal efficacy of UV222. Variability Across Species
UV222 can inactivate fungi, but the effect depends on the fungal species.
For example, some studies have shown a good effect on Penicillium and Candida species and some effect on Aspergillus species.
UV Medico's researchers have demonstrated that intermittent low doses of far-UVC can inhibit the growth of common molds.
