As we all have clearly seen with the recent pandemic, concerns have been heightened in regards to infection, viruses, air pollutant pathogens, and all-around sanitation protocols. While the pandemic in itself was in no way a positive, we now get to look back and reflect on how to approach it better and in which ways we could have been more effective in stopping the spread. We must be aware that as the pandemic is slowly being eradicated, it can still remain a threat. That is why it’s important to have safety measures in place as soon as possible—as well as for the future—to prevent a virus comeback or a way for it to rebound in any way, shape, or form.
UVC-GUV Lighting matters in a post-pandemic world
Well, what is the future? In order to advance in the present in which we are living—while continually slowing down pathogenic spreads—we must be healthy and highly motivated to avoid more viral outbreaks in the future from happening. And we accomplish this by having revolutionary UVC Lighting applications already installed, quietly and effectively working to eliminate invaders, making continual air cycles wherever and whenever they are plugged in.
No matter the subject, and in most cases, it’s always better to be ahead, rather than behind. With potential protection protocols and safety measures being incorporated as a whole into society, why not be ahead of the curve? Blue Halo UVC-GUV Lighting is a great way to make that happen. Designed with simple plug and play fixtures for effortless installation.
Protection against pathogens doesn’t stop when an outbreak is no longer at its peak, or is no longer a major concern. Protection against pathogens and bacteria is an on-going event that we must consistently combat and address. Therefore, what is all the more important is an effective pathogen deactivating system that is working non-stop to deactivate viruses, and eliminate bacteria, most especially after an outbreak. Blue Halos backed by science premier sanitizing LED lighting systems fits that function. With Blue Halo sanitization, we can be sure to be prepared and add enhanced protection against any pathogen that may come our way in the future.
UVC not being used to its full potential
While being in the midst of finding solutions to terminate pathogens, UVC-GUV is not being used as it should be. Most are not aware of the incredible benefits of UVC Germicidal Lighting, and as a result are trying to find solutions without finding answers. In order for this application to be used to its full potential, we must listen to the scientific research that has been achieved in order to understand it more completely.
In a recent white paper from Harvard Medical School in 2021 titled: “Air Disinfection for Airborne Infection Control with a Focus on COVID-19: Why Germicidal UV is Essential” Edward A. Nardell stated that: “It is not an exaggeration to claim that the most effective, evidence-based, cost-effective, safe and available engineering intervention to disinfect air is being largely ignored during a lethal viral pandemic spread predominantly by the airborne route. That intervention is germicidal ultraviolet (GUV) air disinfection”
When looking for the best ways to keep occupied air space clean and pure, running UVC Lighting is essential for occupied spaces, as well as checking the boxes of cost effectiveness, efficacy, and safety. In the same article Edward A. Nardell also said that: “There are other reasons to filter recirculated air, airborne particulates and pollen, for example. But, even if recirculation of active SARS-CoV-2 virus were well documented, it is little comfort to persons sharing a room with an unsuspected, infectious COVID-19 source case to know that the air will be treated only after it leaves the room. To be highly effective, air disinfection must occur in the same room occupied by an infectious source and persons at risk of infection.”
In other words, an effective UVC Lighting fixture must be running and making continuous air cycle replacements in the same occupied space as the source of infection or transmission. Which is exactly what the Blue Halo product line is designed and perfected to do. Pathogens do not infect only during a certain time of the day, so why should your Lighting fixture only work for a certain period of time? Blue Halos UVC lighting products are continually making cycles when switched on and when space is occupied.
Conclusion
In the end, dealing with the question of UVC-GUV technology even after a pandemic, the answer is yes. Having UVC Lighting in a post-pandemic world is a great way to enhance safety, protection, and immunity against any future pathogen outbreaks, and a great way to be prepared for what may come down the road. We have seen a taste of the unpreparedness of our world when it comes to pandemics and virus outbreaks. Installing Blue Halo Lighting sanitization fixtures will help add another step of protection and enhance safety against future viral outbreaks.
Together, through Blue Halo UVC Lighting technology, we can add protection while being a step ahead of the next pathogen, and enhance safety for all.
