Description:

Air disinfection using germicidal ultraviolet light (GUV) has received increasing attention during the COVID-19 pandemic. GUV uses UVC lamps toinactivate microorganisms, butitalso initiates photochemistry inair.However, GUV’s indoor- air-quality impact has not been investigated indetail. Here, we model thechemistry initiated byGUV at254 (“GUV254”) or222 nm(“GUV222”) inatypical indoor setting fordifferent ventilation
