222nm Far-UVC is Safe

Safe for people

Traditionally UV light is seen as harmful to human health, whilst this is the case with the more common 254nm light (as used in air conditioning systems and sterilisation boxes), the 222nm light that we use is safe.

Please contact us if you would like to request our safety white paper, which includes a digest of the published literature on 222nm Far-UVC.

Doesn’t penetrate skin

222nm light is dispersed by the dead skin cells of the skin. It does not penetrate to the living skin cells.

Safe for eyes

222nm light is unable to get through the tear film of the eye, and will therefore not cause any ocular damage.
