Contaminated surfaces in clinics pose a pathogen transmission risk. Far ultraviolet-C light (UVC), with a favorable safety profile for human exposure, has the potential for continuous pathogen inactivation in occupied clinical areas. This study demonstrated real-world bioburden reduction on surfaces, despite frequent contamination from routine use by staff and patients in clinics.
诊所内被污染的表面会带来病原体传播风险。远紫外线C光(UVC)对人体暴露具有良好的安全性,有可能在有人的临床区域持续灭活病原体。这项研究表明,尽管诊所的工作人员和患者日常频繁使用会造成表面污染,但实际生物负荷仍有所降低。
