From Science Fiction to Reality: UVC will be at the Forefront of Humanity’s Mars Colonization

In this post, we explore how ultraviolet light (UV-C) radiation, known for its sterilization properties, could play a pivotal role in overcoming some of the hurdles to colonizing Mars. Mars beckons us with its rusty rouge landscape, and the possibility of harboring life, both past and present. But for humans to eventually call the Red Planet home, we face a formidable force: the harsh environment. One tool in humanity’s Mars colonization arsenal is ultraviolet C (UVC) radiation, a powerful tool for sterilization and sanitation.

In addition to PPE, law enforcement officers can also use UV-C light to help improve safety protocols. Ultraviolet, or ‘UV-C’ light has a germicidal effect, meaning it can kill bacteria and viruses with up to 99.9998% efficacy. It is also effective at killing fentanyl. This makes it a valuable tool for decontaminating surfaces that may be contaminated with fentanyl.
