Tests Show UVC Lamps Could Light the Way in COVID-19 Fight Davis ## Reporter 05/10/20 (Sun) 06:07:09 c283aa No.258315

Could a new type of ultraviolet lamp be used in stations, airplanes and schools to kill dangerous viruses, becoming a game changer in the COVID-19 fight?

Researchers at Columbia University have been working on such uses for years, and the current pandemic could confirm the value of their efforts.

UVC lamps have long been used to kill bacteria, viruses and molds, notably in hospitals and in the food-processing industry. As the coronavirus pandemic knocks world economies on their heels, this technology is experiencing a boom.

But UVC (for Ultraviolet-C) rays are dangerous, causing skin cancer and eye problems, and can be used only when no one is present.
