222 nm UVC Light: Noncarcinogenic, Safe for Human Skin Sterilization

222 nm UVC Light: Noncarcinogenic, Safe for Human Skin Sterilization

Joint research between Kobe University and Ushio Inc. has provided proof for the first time in the world that direct and repetitive illumination from 222-nm ultraviolet radiation C (UVC), which is a powerful sterilizer, does not cause skin cancer. This suggests that 222-nm UVC is also safe for human eyes and skin.
