New UV Sterilisers, Here’s the Opinion on the Systems.

We live in strange times and are witnessing the growing popularity of UVC sterilisers.

When it comes to the new Coronavirus pandemic, there are a few things you can do to protect yourself. These include regular hand washing and sterilising of all surfaces and objects.

If you want to clean your phone or other objects, you now don’t have to waste paper disinfectant wipes or use harmful chemicals.

But how do you know whether UVC light sterilisers, as available on the UK market, really work and function?

One Team Tested a new US system

The team (not scientists, just users) tested the Coral UV Sterilizer System. Seeing how this worked and how easy it is to use by the team with the science skills of a 10 year old.

First of all, porous and regularly used items such as phones should normally only be disinfected with a chemical disinfectant that has to be delivered over the phone via spray or wipe.

Items such as phones, hand bags, etc are a huge germ collector on a good day and should be one of the first things to be disinfected.

We have repeatedly said that phones contain more germs than toilets, so many people can now resort to a ‘UV phone hygiene box’ to keep their devices clean.

In fact, you should regularly clean and sterilize your phone and all other electronic devices such as computers, tablets, phones and computers in general.

It has also been tested by independent laboratories for a variety of bacteria and has all the required certifications, including EPA testing and FDA approval, and it has performed well.

Specifics of UVC Light

UV-C light emits a beam of the right wavelength that actually disinfects and kills bacteria, viruses and germs, the team who tested the new system said. “The results showed the device killed 99.9% of household germs, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention”.

UV-C light can kill coronaviruses, according to the US health authority CDC and the National Institutes of Health.

The team said they were able to test the machine for coronaviruses and found incredible results in initial testing.

If you are wondering if using UV light can reduce your chances of contracting coronavirus, read on about killing Covid 19 by UV light.

UV air purifiers are designed to inactivate the pathogen responsible for the most common cause of 2020’s respiratory infections, the coronavirus (Covid-19).

This has the potential to reduce indoor air pollution and reduce the risk of respiratory diseases such as asthma, allergies and respiratory infections.

UV System Usage

UV air purifiers on the market produce ozone, which can lead to a health risk for families in the house.

Studies have generally shown that they are only limited in their effectiveness against microorganisms and cannot control many pollutants (VOCs), but they do provide some kind of disinfectant if you are at risk of infection.

Luckily, in the UK you now have access to one of the most efficient and cost-effective options available to you, the Elite-101 UV air sanitising system.

UV can help to reduce the bacterial infection rate in medical facilities and elderly care centres. UV mainly comprises UV-C wavelengths, which are still able to fight bacteria and other germs – fighting bacteria and even inactivating viruses.

UV-C wavelengths (which can inactivate viruses which cause respiratory infections), typically fall between wavelengths of 300 and 400 nm.

These wavelengths are very close to the visible light spectrum and are considered safe for humans, but this idea has been commonly rejected for decades in flooded indoor areas such as hospitals and nursing homes.

New Systems and Safety Info

Some systems in the USA make use of HEPA – activated filters to wrap and disinfect the air as it circulates through the room and produce much lower ozone content than other air purifiers produced in the US and Europe.

As anyone who has had sunburn knows, conventional UV radiation is dangerous to humans, including UVC light, which is currently used to kill pathogens.

A lot of UVC light kills pathogens in the air before you can inhale them, “Dr. John R. Dolan, an associate professor of chemistry at the University of California, San Diego, told the university’s journal.

The testing team of the latest UVC systems found that Far UVC eradicated coronaviruses, which are responsible for coughs and colds, believing it was able to eliminate the virus that caused COVID-19.

PathogenUK’s new system is leading in its role as a means of fighting infectious diseases.

Now, with growing concern that coronaviruses causing COVID-19 is being transmitted by microscopic floating particles known as aerosols, researchers and doctors hope the technology can be reused to help disinfect high-risk interiors in all public areas.

In Pathogen’s systems, the energetic waves of ultraviolet light, known in practice as germicidal UV or GUV, are emitted through the air to kill viruses, bacteria and other microorganisms.

Studies have already shown that germicidal UV radiation can effectively inactivate microbes in the air that transmit pathogens such as flu, chikungunya, dengue and cholera, as well as other pathogens.

The US is Leading the Way…

While the US is considering ways to stop the spread of highly infectious viruses, UV is used to decontaminate hospitals where infectious droplets can land, and to disinfect N95 masks for reuse.

This is the first time scientists have used germicidal UV in a real-world application to disinfect water and air surfaces.

Preliminary results show that UV-C can inactivate COVID-19, the virus that has caused outbreaks in the United States.

Conclusion:

UV-C light can inactivate viruses such as the one responsible for COVID-19. Applications tested and procured in the recent analysis are designed to treat air and surfaces, according to the report.

Contrary to some ridiculous reports, there are no published studies or reports to suggest that UV-C light is used within the human body to disinfect coronaviruses.

In fact, the UV association has publicly advised against using UV light to inactivate viruses or kill bacteria around people in a room.

According to the US Department of Health, UVC light was discovered to actually kill 99.9% of germs.

So we know the latest systems work well, and PathogenUK is leading the charge here in the UK.
