After 60 seconds (in Normal Mode) or 3 minutes (in Adventure Mode) of UV exposure, the UV-C light will have neutralized up to 99.9999% of harmful and odor-causing bacteria.

This is done by the light’s interior fluorescent coating, which is able to absorb most of the UV radiation and emit lower-energy wavelengths in the visible spectrum.

This was taken into account when developing the AIR and so the UV light is directed into the mask, away from the user, to prevent any direct skin exposure.” The company expects the device to be ...

We first heard about the disinfecting powers of UV-C light (ultraviolet light with a wavelength between 200 and 280 nanometers — and the same light that causes sunburn and skin-cell mutation in ...

Researchers have created a range of soft, elastic gels that change color when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light -- and change back when the UV light is removed or the material is heated up.

In a statement they insist, "the levels of UV radiation emitted are acceptably low" and are safe under normal use. Researchers say you can be safe by exercising caution.

UV light causes everything from sunburn to skin cancer and the wrinkles and sagging that come with age. But what exactly is it doing in our bodies to wreak all that havoc?

Exposure to UV light causes damage to everyone’s cellular DNA. Once the cells are damaged, the immune system clears them. However, people with lupus have a much slower clearance of these cells ...
