Last week the Center for Disease Control recommended installing UV-C light systems in buildings where large numbers of people gather to protect against airborne pathogens.
Earlier this year the Illuminating Engineering Society and the School of Medicine at the University of Boston confirmed that U-VC disinfection for heating, ventilation and air conditioning can inactivate the virus responsible for COVID-19. Last month the World Health Organization formally recognized that the coronavirus, which can survive in air for three hours or more, is transmitted through tiny droplets in the air, putting people in crowded indoor settings with poor ventilation at risk of infection.
It has also been reported that power companies in some states are offering rebates to commercial buildings that install UV-C in HVAC systems.
“Exhibitors need continuous customer confidence to sustain business as the world continues to cope with the realities of COVID-19,” said Sami Haddad, president of Digital Light Sources.
He said the benefits of Digital Light Sources UV-C disinfection equipment against airborne, and surface viruses, bacteria and pathogens include:
