David Brenner, PhD, "Far-UVC light: A potentially safe and effective approach for reducing person-to-person SARS-CoV-2 transmission"
Dr. Brenner is testing the use of Far-UVC light in populated areas to reduce viral aerosols. Previous tests show that Far-UVC exposure is effective at inactivating seasonal coronaviruses and the influenza virus. His studies in mice show no evidence of skin lesions or eyesight dysfunction after 8 months of exposure to 222nm Far-UVC light for 8 hours per day. Dr. Brenner is further studying the effectiveness of Far-UVC in influenza prevention between cages of Guinea pigs. If concluded to be safe and effective, Far-UVC light could be used in public spaces such as schools, on public transport, and in airports.
