Researchers explored the effects of filtered Far-UVC light (222 nm) on human skin using both ex vivo full-thickness skin models and in vivo self-exposures.
Highlights:-
- CPDs (markers of DNA damage) were detected only in the most superficial epidermal layers.
- Findings align with prior in silico models, confirming that Far-UVC at 222 nm does not penetrate deeper skin layers.
- Evidence supports the safety and germicidal efficacy of filtered Far-UVC as a revolutionary decontamination technology.
