The Science
Radiology expert from Columbia University Dr. David Brenner worked with our manufacturing partners Ushio to develop a safe wavelength that can kill viruses and is safe around people. This is referred to as Far UVC or 222 nanometer UV. 8 hours of exposure to our Far UVC light can be compared to 15 seconds of exposure to sun light. A safe way to disinfect our indoor air.
Here are the results of our studies and the tests we’ve conducted in the last few years.

Should I worry about Ozone?
It is key to note at 222 nanometers Far UV-C lights do produce a bit of ozone. The best way to avoid ozone build up indoors is to have constant air flow. With proper ventilation you can reduce ozone by 98% indoors. With our Care222 devices you will not have to worry about ozone build up since we have carbon filters reducing ozone by 70%. But it is still recommended to make sure you have air flow as you would even without Far UV-C. If you'd like to learn more about ozone production from Far UV-C you can read the latest study on this here.
