Nasty germs don€™t just live in public spaces. In fact, you€™re more likely to get a sore throat from your keyboard, smartphone, or TV remote control than you are by visiting a public washroom. This is a germicidal sanitary device that uses UV-C light to eliminate the threat of bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and allergy-inducing microorganisms found on the items closest to you.
Ultraviolet C (UV-C) is a short wavelength (100-280 nm) radiation and is primarily used for the disinfection of air, surfaces and liquids from microbial contaminants[10]. To date the UV-C is the wavelength in germicidal applications and is also recommended by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention.
**Please note: The current specifications of UV-C technology operates at the 254nm wavelength. It is important and imperative to know this is harmful to the human skin and eyes. This is NOT a lamp to install in your kitchen! Please check into UV-C standards and safety for full disclosure on the effects.
