University of Arizona Study Shows Why Far-UVC Matters for Indoor Air Safety
People spend nearly 90 percent of their time indoors, yet most buildings rely on limited tools to manage shared airborne risk. New technologies can signal poor air conditions, but they do not reduce exposure on their own. In a new study with the University of Arizona, researchers quantify how Far-UVC continuously inactivates airborne pathogens, reducing airborne transmission risk when people are present. The findings translate indoor air science into actionable insight for real-world environments.
Inactivates Pathogens in the Air
Far-UVC can continuously inactivate viruses and bacteria in indoor air including influenza, SARS-CoV-2 surrogates, and MDROs in occupied spaces.
Pivotal Studies: 10+
Inactivates Pathogens on Surfaces
Far-UVC actively reduces bacterial and viral loads on high-touch surfaces, supporting continuous environmental cleaning alongside manual cleaning practices.
Pivotal Studies: 25+
Human & Animal Safety Studies
Characterization of Far-UVC interaction with skin, eyes, and the environment suppports use in occupied spaces within ACGIH guidelines.
Pivotal Studies: 35+
Real-World Applications & Results
Clinical research in hospitals, restaurants, classrooms, and other settings demonstrates pathogen reduction and safety under real-world occupancy and workflows.
