Jfc people are selling UV-C lamps for use in the home as disinfectants to just… have on in your home

Is this not the same year that the crypto conference sent a bunch of people to the hospital by not knowing the difference between UV-A lamps and UV-C lamps?

UV-C can permanently blind, burn, and possibly give you cancer - there aren’t many studies about people having long term exposure to UV-C light, because short term exposure fucks you up so badly

You do not want one just on on your home

It’ll kill bacteria and fungi and dust mites alright; it will also hurt and possibly kill you

Think “don’t shine a laser pointer in your eyes”, with additional serious sunburn in seconds

Socially Distanced Design

With the demand for life-saving N95 face masks outstripping supply, one solution is for hospitals to sterilise and reuse them. But how? In the absence of dedicated mask sterilisation devices, a team of engineers at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania decided to take matters into their own hands and design one for their local hospital, St Luke’s. Remarkably, they did so without once physically meeting each other or hospital staff. Using emails, video and phone calls, the team developed the design from their homes. They then ordered parts online to construct individual components and delivered these to prearranged drop-off sites for hospital staff to collect. Hospital machinists and engineers then assembled the components on site. The machine (pictured) which can decontaminate several thousand masks a day, is now fully operational serving St Luke’s healthcare providers, meaning they in turn can safely serve their patients.

A custom made photochemical reactor using several germicidal tubes and a flow cell in the middle.

Germicidal tubes are filled with mercury vapor and they produce UV-C light with an exact 253.7 nm emission. When the tubes are used, a mercury arc forms behind the fused quartz glass and emits an intense UV radiation that disrupts DNA base pairing and kills bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, it sterilizes quite effectively everything. 

If oxygen is present ozone forms in relatively high concentrations under this radiation. The energetic photons from a UV-C lamp could be also used in organic chemistry, just as in this case.  

Important to note, that these lamps can cause skin and eye problems, so NEVER-EVER look in them without proper protection.

Würth Elektronik Webinar: UV-LEDs for Disinfection

https://www.futureelectronics.com/resources/featured-products/wurth-elektronik-wl-sumw-ultraviolet-ceramic-waterclear-uv-leds . How can you disinfect with UV-C LEDs? UV-C light is exceptionally potent of inactivating germs, bacteria and viruses. They may help reduce the spread of viruses such as the Coronavirus but will also remain of high importance after the pandemic. https://youtu.be/t5zlJTpZwGo

UV-C fertőtlenítés klímával? – Igen, lehetséges!

UV-C fertőtlenítés klímával? – Igen, lehetséges!

Az utóbbi hetekben tapasztalt kánikula után, talán még azok is elgondolkodtak a klímavásárláson, akik eddig határozottan ellenezték. Sokan azonban még mindig attól tartanak, hogy negatív hatással lesz egészségükre, ha klimatizált lakásban élik a mindennapjaikat. A Hisense szakértői szerint a különböző technológiai fejlesztéseknek köszönhetően emiatt ma már nem kell aggódnunk, sőt számos,…
