How FarUV Disinfection Works

Far UV wavelengths completely eradicate single-cell organisms, with less energy and with no photoreactivation, primarily by breaking down the proteins in the microbe’s outer membrane. Energy absorption by proteins is up to 45 times greater for FarUV than for older UV-C. Data indicates FarUV technology is capable of killing all bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It can address the most common illnesses such as common cold and flu as well as foodborne illnesses such as E.coli, Salmonella, and Listeria. FarUV also eradicates dangerous microorganisms such as Ebola, MERS, SARS, COVID, and all chemically and antibiotic-resistant microbes (MRSA, C Diff).

How to win the war on flu
“In brief, it is pure physics – 222 nm light is safe for us because it cannot even penetrate through the dead-cell layer on the surface of our skin or the tear layer on the surface of our eyes – but because bacteria and viruses are physically very small, 222 nm light does have enough penetration to efficiently kill them.

I envision a wide range of applications for this new weapon in the war against superbugs, such as in schools to prevent the spread of coronavirus or influenza, in shelters to prevent the spread of TB, or in airplanes and airports to prevent the global spreading of virus-like coronavirus or H1N1 influenza.”
