One early problem during the height of the COVID-19 global pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was the shortage of personal protective equipment donned by healthcare workers, particularly N95 respirators. Given the known virucidal, bactericidal, and fungicidal properties of ultraviolet irradiation, in particular ultraviolet C (UVC) radiation, our photomedicine and photobiology unit explored the role of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) using UVC in effectively decontaminating N95 respirators. The review highlights the important role of photobiology and photomedicine in this pandemic. Namely, the goals of this review were to highlight: UVGI as a method of respirator disinfection-specifically against SARS-CoV-2, adverse reactions to UVC and precautions to protect against exposure, other methods of decontamination of respirators, and the importance of respirator fit testing.
在由严重急性呼吸系统综合征 2（SARS-CoV-2）引发的 COVID-19 全球大流行期间，早期出现的一个问题是医护人员，尤其是 N95 口罩短缺。鉴于紫外线照射，特别是紫外线 C（UVC）辐射具有已知的病毒杀灭、杀菌和杀真菌特性，我们的光医学和光生物学小组探索了使用 UVC 的紫外线杀菌照射（UVGI）在有效净化 N95 口罩方面的作用。该综述强调了光生物学和光医学在这场大流行中的重要作用。即，本次综述的目的是突出强调：UVGI 作为一种口罩消毒方法——特别是针对 SARS-CoV-2，UVC 的不良反应和防护措施，口罩的其他消毒方法，以及口罩适配测试的重要性。
