UV-C: The most Efficient way to Mitigate the Spread of Disease in Homeless Shelters & Prisons

The homeless community is society’s most vulnerable group because they do not have access to the same hygienic indoor spaces, or sanitation that the housed have access to. Homeless persons die from illnesses that can be treated or prevented. Crowded, poorly-ventilated living conditions, found in many shelters, promote the spread of communicable diseases. Federal, State/Provincial and Municipal governments should be investing in disinfecting our shelters with UV-C. Let’s do more to protect the unhoused, and mitigate the spread of disease by mass deploying enclosed UV-C, or Far UV upper room lighting devices to our homeless shelters.

Far-UVC Light will Revolutionize Indoor Air and Surface Treatment

Far UV-C, informally defined as electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 200 and 230 nm, has characteristics that are well-suited to control of airborne pathogens. Specifically, Far UV-C has been shown to be highly effective for inactivation of airborne pathogens; yet this same radiation has minimal potential to cause damage to human skin and eye tissues. Critically, unlike UV-B, Far UV-C radiation does not substantially penetrate the dead cell layer of skin (stratum corneum) and does not reach germinative cells in the basal layer. Similarly, Far UV-C radiation does not substantially penetrate through corneal epithelium of the eye, thereby preventing exposure of germinative cells within the eye.
