The COVID-19 pandemic has many people thinking about ways to disrupt its spread. Since the late 1800s, we have known that ultraviolet (UV) light can provide effective sanitization.

Recently, we have seen a growing trend where ultraviolet germicidal devices on offer do not include effective means for containment or limitation of UV-C exposure. Questions about the safety risks of such applications continue to grow.

The information will provide clarity that is beneficial for those manufacturing or considering the use of UV-C for germicidal purposes. Product designers, safety engineers, health professionals and consumers are welcome!
