Far-UVC and Mold

Molds have the troubling ability to invade any moist area, from the corners of our homes to the confines of hospital rooms, degrading the air we breathe with airborne spores. These spores are far from harmless; they can instigate severe asthma and allergies in healthy people and, in the context of a hospital, present a critical risk to those patients already at their most vulnerable.

At UV Medico, our latest research delved into the effectiveness of Far-UVC light at 222 nm (UV222) in combating these pervasive spore-producing molds. Our results showed that even minimal, intermittent exposure to UV222 is powerful enough to stop mold growth in its tracks, reflecting a practical application in everyday environments. This highlights the potential of UV222 to significantly improve indoor air quality and reduce the risk of dangerous fungal infections.




The WHO advises keeping indoor environments mold-free to avoid associated health risks. Our research suggests that UV222 could be a game-changer, not only for hospitals looking to dodge devastating fungal infections but for any building susceptible to mold infestations due to water leaks or high humidity, enhancing air quality and reducing health issues such as asthma and allergies.
