What people are saying
The discussions reflect a high level of engagement and curiosity, with examples such as mentions of specific wavelengths like 220 nm, safety calculations, and references to recent scientific articles, all of which suggest that participants are actively analyzing and debating the safety limits for UVC exposure based on new evidence and interpretations.
Most discussions acknowledge that current exposure limits may be overly conservative, with some advocating for revised safety standards based on recent studies.
Participants show high interest in the topic, engaging with scientific arguments, technical details, and safety implications.
The discussions demonstrate deep engagement through referencing studies, calculations, and safety limits, indicating thoughtful analysis.
The collective tone suggests that these discussions could influence future safety guidelines, though immediate impact remains moderate.
Abstract in brief
- The COVID-19 pandemic increased interest in using ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) to disinfect indoor spaces, but this raises safety concerns about exposure to potentially harmful UVC lamps.
- The current safety limits for UVC exposure, especially between 180 and 280 nm, seem overly conservative, prompting a review of their scientific basis and potential adjustments.
- The authors suggest establishing separate exposure limits for eyes and skin below 300 nm and increasing the permissible exposure levels for UVC wavelengths under 250 nm to ensure both safety and effective disinfecting.]

@davidmanheim @Zee_Perry Well, as far as I can tell, the daily exposure limit right now is around 30mJ/cm^2/day which is just 0.1W for a 30 square meter room. In the paper I got that diagram from, they propose ~200mJ/cm^2/day which is 0.7W for the same sized room. https://t.co/ghCD4Hhsno https://t.co/Mv12N9XcZV
@MooreMedtech @UVC_Far I think this follow the article by Sliney et al last year in "Photochemistry and Photobiology" journal. https://t.co/DuN6kQG8oJ
@flowermusickids @MxPunky I think it's based on this: https://t.co/HgITmPGI5Q . That's a limit for one shift. So not lifetime. :-)

Investigating UVGI for Virucidal Applications in Buildings
Death from above—death to viruses. This video discusses the advantages and risks of an Open Source Upper Room UVGI light fixture, as well as requirements for safe installation. It explores key insights into virus…
@rfsafe @frankdevocht No, UVC is 100-280 nm (ISO 21348). 220 nm is less damaging to skin than other UVC wavelengths with higher exposure limits, based on generally short exposures.Hypocritical to complain about hazards of RF and then tell us that UVC (220 nm) is perfectly safe https://t.co/BS3v6l1u2i
@EpiEllie Also, you can go click on the citation numbers which will give you links to a couple of studies done as well as a discussion about lowering the exposure limits. But that might be too difficult for you, professor so here you go https://t.co/iLjtYrmExY

@Michael59503746 Found this as well - https://t.co/XWpCk6UB6D just don't understand this well enough to understand the safe exposure hours per day (and conservative days) for these devices. Appreciate if you're able to help!

@RealSexyCyborg Please be careful. At 222nm, https://t.co/pYrpIUpnPl propose a new safety limit of 479 mJ/cm². At the numbers you are showing (0.850 mW/cm² of UVC), that would be a safety time limit of (479/0.85)= 563 s → 9 min. Again, I'm no expert, but still, please be careful :)

@Philly852 Even ex-UN scientists say the UV is too strong. Is it used to harm people or to test/alter people's genes, I wonder:- https://t.co/2D8A2kO7vL
