Infants can travel up to 20 football fields during a day, with a path as crazy as a cat zigzagging through a room full of Roombas.
If we can kick up our own dust, you would think infants could. And that's what they set out to measure. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
That dust cloud is a mix of chemical and biological stuff. Like living and dead microorganisms such as bacteria. Biological excretions like animal and mite allergens.
And PFAs, phthalate plasticizers, and flame retardant.
Because if you are TRULY concerned about ozone, you would not be slipping into threads of people showing pictures of their new FAR-UVC Torches - for any other reason, but to share the good word that the miniscule ozone generated could be eliminated.
An important topic since way before 2020, but given fresh vigor with our collective interest in clean air. Not just disease free air, but VOC, PFA, microplastic, mold, UFP, PM 1, PM 2.5, etc.
The outside air will infiltrate inside.

That ☝️picture is not typical.
Typical ACH - there can be general estimates, but every house is different. You can determine your own, as shown by @jljcolorado with help 👇👇. Jump to the section shown 👇.
The thread about that article is here. Some excellent discussion on it by some very good scientists, including those Dr. Jimenez acknowledges. Those folks are also on Xitter.
1 lamp was good enough to disinfect room. Produced "negligible" ozone. -0.62 ±0.03 ppb
Even with 4x the needed strength? 6.98 ±0.24 ppb.
The conclusion? One lamp does not impact the air quality.
With 4 times OVERKILL.
Under 10 ppb. Secondary organic aerosols (SOA)? minor increases in particulate matter (16% increase particulate matter, 10 % increase in particle number count).
