Efficacy of a far-ultraviolet-C light technology for continuous decontamination of air and surfaces
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 August 2023
Abstract
A wall-mounted, far-ultraviolet-C light technology reduced aerosolized bacteriophage MS2 by >3 log10 plaque-forming units within 30 minutes. Vegetative bacterial pathogens on steel disk carriers in the center of the room were reduced by >3 log10 after 45 minutes of exposure, but Candida auris and Clostridioides difficile spores were not.
