Research into UV222: The Science behind SafeGloIn less than five years, science began to understand the extraordinary properties of ultraviolet in the 222nm range.
This is the Science behind SafeGlo222. For more than fifty years,”Far UV” or UVC has been widely used for quick disinfection of air and surfaces of medical equipment — highly effective tool for destroying bacteria and viruses. But UVC was also problematic: Although it didn’t case sunburn or skin cancer like other forms of UV, it could cause temporary irritation to eyes and skin. Only recently did scientists realize that a single UV wavelength, 222nm, had unique properties. It was even more deadly to viruses than other UV-C wavelengths. This wavelength, UV222, even killed SARS viruses, including the one that causes Covid-19. Even more astonishing was the finding that UV222 had no effect on skin or eyes. This opened whole new opportunities to disenfect entire rooms, both air and surfaces, even when people were present. This page details some of the more important papers comparing the disinfecting and germicidal effectiveness of UV-A , UV-B, UV-C, Far UV, and UV222. These papers inspired the creation and production of SafeGlo222. |
