study, scientists have found that 99.9% of the novel coronavirus can be killed by UV light irradiation.&nbsp;The results were published on Thursday, June 24th, 2020 in a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41598-020-67211-2\">paper of<\/a>&nbsp;the renowned journal \u201cNature\u201d.&nbsp;The study was conducted at Columbia University&#8217;s Irving Medical Center.&nbsp;Scientists have already proven in the past that UV light can kill influenza viruses.&nbsp;The findings can now also be transferred with regard to the novel coronavirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How long does the killing take?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the study,&nbsp;<em>far<\/em>&nbsp;UV light&nbsp;kills&nbsp;90% of airborne viruses in 8 minutes, 95% in 11 minutes, and 99% in 16 minutes.&nbsp;After 25 minutes, 99.9% of the viruses have been killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Short-wave<\/em>&nbsp;UV light can kill the germs within seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is the UV light safe?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Different wavelengths were tested in the study.&nbsp;The authors point out that far UV light is harmless to humans.&nbsp;With short-wave UV light, care should be taken not to expose the sensitive retina of the eyes to radiation.&nbsp;With long-wave or distant UV light there are no dangers, not even for the retina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that in the future public spaces in which people are located can be disinfected using long-wave UV light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I safely use UV lamps?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UV lamps emit short-wave light.&nbsp;They are just as effective for all everyday items and kill 99.9% of viruses.&nbsp;However, we would like to emphasize again at this point that the light must not be used to sterilize the direct skin (e.g. hands or arms).&nbsp;Be careful not to shine the stick into your eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
