Problem
Airborne transmission of infectious diseases in occupied indoor spaces poses a significant risk, especially in environments with high occupancy rates. Traditional methods like enhanced HVAC and HEPA filters can be energy-intensive and costly to operate. These methods may also require significant infrastructure changes, making them less practical for some facilities.
Solution
Far UV Technologies develops Krypton lighting systems that utilize Far-UVC light (222nm) to continuously inactivate airborne pathogens in occupied indoor spaces. This technology offers a more energy-efficient and autonomous alternative to traditional air purification methods, reducing the risk of airborne transmission of infectious diseases. Krypton lighting systems are designed to meet established safety standards for human exposure while providing effective air and surface disinfection. The product line includes ceiling-mounted, portable, and personal devices to suit a variety of applications.
Target Audience
The primary customers include schools, government facilities, healthcare facilities, commercial offices, hospitality businesses, and any organization seeking to improve indoor air quality and reduce the risk of airborne disease transmission in occupied spaces.
