Ich stimme @SourceControl21 hier zu, habe mir das Update der Stellungnahme angesehen. Viele Kollegen und ich teilen diese Einschätzung zu mobilen Luftreiniger nicht, vgl. zunächst einmal die umfangreichen Aktivitäten in den USA dazu. (1/n)
Mobile Luftreiniger können schwer die alleinigen Problemlöser sein, aber einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Reduktion der Viruslast leisten. Dieses ist durch viele Publikationen belegt. Dass "keine epidemiologische Evidenz" vorliegt, gilt auch für viele andere sinnvolle ... (2/n)
Maßnahmen. Dieses ist eine sehr zu stark durch die Medizin geprägte Sichtweise, die nun sinnvolles Handel verhindern soll - Warum ? Landesregierungen mit Ihren zuständigen Ministerien sind dieser Stellungnahme gefolgt - #Sachsen und ... (3/n)

🙋 Hola, queremos aportar nuestro granito de arena y facilitar información sobre preguntas F.A.Q. sobre la #LuzUltravioleta #UVC #RadiacionUltravioleta 💜 #Climatizacion #Aerosoles

¡Dentro Hilo! 🔽 (1/22)
(2/22). ¿Qué es la Luz Ultravioleta?

Dentro del espectro electromagnético, en la
zona no visible, encontramos las longitudes de onda
comprendidas entre los 10 y los 400 nanómetros, donde encontramos la luz #UVA,
#UVB y la #UVC
(3/22) ¿Por qué la UVC es tan especial?

La #UVC se sitúa en el rango de longitudes de onda entre 100 nm y 280 nm. Dentro de este rango UVC, la región situada 220 nm–280 nm se considera #germicida o #GUV por sus siglas en inglés (Germicidal UV)

1/2: This is a good overview of UV-C, it's potential (problematic) application to doorway/airport security scanner disinfection, & the need for additional research. I'd add that the additional research should specifically look at...

2/3: the impacts on potentially more susceptible populations (children, elderly, & those w/ eye/skin conditions).

The author's point that such systems will still likely appear despite a) evidence for their lack of effectiveness & b) sufficient research demonstrating they...
3/3: do not produce harmful affects should not be lost here. As an industry we need to do a better job of avoiding such occurrences. I made similar arguments previously with respect to germicidal ambient lighting: evolution-institute.org/the-potential-…
