Far-UVC, a specific wavelength within the UVC spectrum, can enhance indoor air quality by complementing ventilation and air filtration. While ventilation exchanges indoor and outdoor air, and filtration removes particle matter, far-UVC disinfects contaminated air and surfaces by inactivating viruses and bacteria. The increasing likelihood of pandemics, the COVID-19-pandemic and seasonal epidemics of respiratory infections underscore the importance of such technologies to mitigate and prevent the risk of transmission in indoor settings like offices, transportation, bars, and restaurants.
