Vivian Belenky discusses the use of far-UVC technology to reduce the transmission of pathogens in indoor environments. The conversation covers the current state of the technology, safety considerations, and pathways to reducing its cost. Engineers interested in promoting the widespread adoption of far-UVC technology will find valuable insights in this episode.
In this episode we discuss

How Vivian came to work on biosecurity and specifically indoor air quality
A brief history of germicidal ultraviolet radiation and the current state of far-UVC technology
What is required for far-UVC to be adopted in a broader context
Potential pathways to reducing the cost of far-UVC
Safety considerations for far-UVC
How engineers can contribute to developing far-UVC technology
How engineers can contribute to promoting wide-spread adoption of far-UVC technology
