A Japanese company that teamed up with Columbia University has developed a first-of-its-kind ultraviolet lamp that can kill the coronavirus without harming peoples health, according to a report.
Light equipment maker Ushios Care 222 UV lamp is expected to be used to disinfect heavily trafficked spaces where people run the risk of contracting the deadly bug, including buses, trains, elevators and offices, Japan Today reported.
UV lamps have been widely used for sterilization, notably in the medical and food-processing industries, and JetBlue recently announced plans to use the technology aboard its planes.
However, conventional UV rays cannot be used when people are present because they cause skin cancer and eye problems.

Didnt they relentlessly mock Trump about this?
Pretty sure God has a patent on a particular UV provider we are currently using.
Everybody put your UV light belt on.
Is this direct exposure UV?
How many long term skin cell and cancer studies have then done with this?
I’m going to take a guess. zero
U V. I V. We V. Every1 V!
Trump wins again!

“Too much UV light is linked to multiple eye diseases, including: Cataracts”
What to believe what to believe
The 9th Circuit Court just issued a ruling that UV lamps are unconstitutional.
Not anymore. The 9th Circuit is now far more conservative.
I’m surprised that 222nm UV can penetrate 8’ of air.
Not necessary. COVID-19 is not airborne. CDC just said so. But the worldwide idiocy continues. Our civilization deserves to die because of this stupidity and it’s well on the way.
Have you never used an ultraviolet flashlight? Deer hunters use them all the time to find blood trails.
CDC never said such a thing.
Yes, but those are usually 405 or 365nm, 200nm is strongly absorbed by air, maybe good for only a few inches. apparently 222nm is good for 8’. That surprised me.
You people are so deluded.
Do you not read? Or do you just believe everything CNN tells you?
