Description:Countermeasures to infectious disease are vital, and their champions—Pasteur, Jenner, Fleming, Salk, Karikó—arerightly celebrated. But less celebrated are the interventions that operate in the background of everyday life—sanitation, pest control, food hygiene—which prevent us from encountering pathogens in the first place.Germicidal ultraviolet light (GUV) has been used in water treatment for over 100 years. Studies in the 1940s showedthe promise of treating the air above our heads with GUV—so called ‘upper-room UV’—to control the spread ofmeasles in schools and it has been used for decades to control the spread of drug-resistant tuberculosis.Far-UVC is a new form of GUV. Because it is strongly absorbed by proteins in the outer layer of human skin and eyes,it can inactivate a wide range of pathogens with minimal penetration into and effects on human tissues. This enableshigher human exposure limits, unlocking the potential for disinfecting occupied spaces continuously while achievingsignificantly improved air cleaning over current alternatives. Far-UVC is also silent, energy-efficient, commerciallyviable at scale, less vulnerable to engendering resistance than pharmaceuticals, and can be deployed in advance ofan outbreak to help prevent a pandemic from occurring in the first place.This report details a comprehensive set of recommendations to accelerate far-UVC’s development and prepare it forwidespread usage. The four most urgent priorities are:1. Establish how far-UVC installations need to be designed in order to effectively suppress airborne transmission.2. Identify different biological effects induced by far-UVC compared to solar UV and conventional GUV.3. Understand unintended air quality impacts of far-UVC and options for mitigation.4. Obtain high-quality evidence of real-world effectiveness.We also identify the key building blocks for facilitating successful adoption and a longer-term research agendato accompany adoption.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging. And by having access to our ebooks online or by storing it on your computer, you have convenient answers with Blueprint for Far-UVC.
