Environmental Surfaces and Disease Transmission - June 9, 2016

“In the 1970s and 1980s the transmission of pathogens from healthcare surfaces to susceptible patients was thought to be insignificant” (CDC). However more recent studies show surfaces in patient’s rooms play a pivotal role in the transmission of disease to other patients in healthcare environments. Understanding how transmission events contribute, and are related to patient room surfaces, can be used as a tool for preventing infection, which allows for facilities to optimize cleaning and disinfection of surfaces.

Could Far UV-C (222) help the fight against not only Covid-19 and its many variants, but Monkeypox as well? The answer is yes, yes it can. This article from Biospace.com explains Far UV-C and how it inactivates pathogens. Being that Monkeypox...

222 is the Future of Disinfection at UVC

    For decades, UV-C wavelengths of light have been used to disinfect everything from water to walls. In more recent years 254 nm wavelengths of UV-C light have been the standard in the fight against pathogens. However, there is a...
