A study recently published in the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology investigated whether irradiation using UV LED would inactivate human coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2. Dr. Yoram Gerchman (Department of Evolutionary and Environmental Biology) a lead author of the multi-institutional research, explains that the findings are an “important step” in the use of UV-LED devices for disinfecting purposes. Researchers believe that UV-LED technology may soon be available for commercial installation in ventilation and water systems in hospitals and industrial settings. Collaborating in the study are scientists from Tel Aviv University, University of Haifa, Oranim Academic College, and Chaim Sheba Medical Center at Tel HaShomer. >>READ MORE
