And we do have preliminary results from a South African trial showing 90% suppression of tuberculosis transmission in hospital wards.
Well, far UVC is a specific wavelength of light, 222 nanometers, that is germicidal.
Vivian Belenky
It kills pathogens, viruses, bacteria, all sorts of things. And importantly, it does so without damaging human cells.
