Ultraviolet C irradiation: A promising approach for the disinfection of public spaces?

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 879, P. 163007 - 163007

Published: March 23, 2023

Ultraviolet irradiation C (UVC) has emerged as an effective strategy for microbial control in indoor public spaces. UVC is commonly applied air, surface, and water disinfection. Unlike common 254 nm UVC, far-UVC at 222 considered non-harmful to human health, being safe occupied spaces, still disinfection purposes. Therefore, allied the urgency mitigate current pandemic of SARS-CoV-2, increase UVC-based technology devices appeared market with levels pathogens reduction higher than 99.9 %. This environmentally friendly potential overcome many limitations traditional chemical-based approaches. The novel were thought be used spaces such hospitals, schools, transport minimize risk contamination propagation, saving costs by reducing manual cleaning equipment maintenance provided manpower. However, a lack information about parameters protocols disinfection, controversies regarding health environmental risks exist. In this review, fundamentals on are presented. Furthermore, deep analysis technologies available addressed, well their advantages limitations. comprehensive provides valuable inputs strategies development effective, reliable, systems.

Health risk assessment via ingestion of disinfection by-products in drinking water

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: Jan. 13, 2025

Disinfection is a critical process to ensure the safety of drinking water. To curb spread various bacteria and viruses, disinfectants are extensively employed in communities, hospitals, sewage treatment plants, other settings. However, can produce disinfection by-products (DBPs) that threaten human health. Despite their importance, research systematic analyses these risks remain limited. This study monitored DBPs water across 13 districts counties Hangzhou, conducting risk assessment based on health model recommended by United States Environmental Protection Agency. Concentrations 12 ranged from 0.01 µg/L 120 µg/L, with levels 2020–2022 generally exceeding those 2018–2019. Notably, median concentrations trichloromethane peaked at 18.00 2021. Most detected higher central northern parts. spatial distribution was determined be random. The associated most were 2021 compared years. Cancer between 10− 6 4 noncarcinogenic below 1. demonstrates increased disinfectant use during may elevates concentrations.
