Model Evaluation of Secondary Chemistry due to Disinfection of Indoor Air with Germicidal Ultraviolet Lamps

2022-08-26

Abstract excerpt

Air disinfection using Germicidal Ultraviolet light (GUV) has received increasing attention during the COVID-19 pandemic. GUV uses UVC lamps to inactivate microorganisms, but it also initiates photochemistry in air. However, GUV’s indoor-air-quality impact has not been investigated in detail. Here, we model the chemistry initiated by GUV at 254 (“GUV254”) or 222 nm (“GUV222”) in a typical indoor setting for differ...
