UV-C energy can fortify hospital defenses against infectious diseases by reducing their concentrations without increasing their resistance to medicines.
Both the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and ASHRAE recommend UV-C to help slow the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
In a hospital or doctor’s office, dangerous microbes can spread through the air or through surfaces in patient rooms, waiting areas, operating theaters, laundry chutes and more.
UV-C supplements existing infection-control protocols for disinfection, sterilization and manual cleaning. UV-C energy works 24/7/365 as it eliminates hazardous microbial build-up.
Given the growing desire to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases in facilities ranging from schools, to hospitals to international airports, facility professional may want to examine currently available Germicidal UV-C technologies that address airborne infectious agents.
School districts and charter school organizations have received extra time to spend billions of COVID-relief dollars designated for K-12 public schools, under updated guidance from the U.S. Department of Education (e.g., spending deadlines have been lengthened). The U.S. Department of Education said...
Did you know that air quality impacts students’ health, concentration, attendance, and even academic performance? Indoor air quality (IAQ) plays a critical role in lowering the risk of infectious diseases, which seriously affects educational success. Yet, to date, only 7% of schools have embraced UV...
Germicidal ultraviolet light can kill airborne viruses indoors before they infect, public health researchers say. Building owners and facility managers can make indoor environments safer by disinfecting indoor air, according to a new op/ed in The New York Times by airborne infectious disease experts...
