The COVID-19 pandemic provided a commercial opportunity for traders marketing a range of ultraviolet (UV) radiation products for home-use disinfection. Due to concerns about the efficacy of such products and the potential for harmful levels of UV exposure to people, a range of products were purchased from on-line trading platforms. Spectral irradiance measurements were carried out to determine whether the products could be effective against the SARS-CoV-2 virus and whether they were likely to exceed internationally agreed exposure limits. It was concluded that many of the devices were not effective and many of those that were potentially effective presented a risk to users.
新冠疫情为销售各种家用紫外线（UV）辐射产品进行消毒的商家提供了商业机会。由于人们担心这些产品的功效以及可能存在的有害紫外线辐射水平，因此从在线交易平台上购买了各种产品。进行光谱辐照度测量，以确定这些产品是否对 SARS-CoV-2 病毒有效，以及它们是否有可能超过国际商定的暴露限值。研究结论表明，许多设备无效，而那些有潜在效果的设备对使用者构成了风险。
