Stability of SARS-CoV-2 in different environmental conditions and the necessity of making use of Radiation UV-C as a disinfection system

Making the society aware of the stability of Sars-CoV2 in the air and on different contaminated surfaces is something that always concerns our Germiled.

 

The New England Journal of Medicine, a prestigious medical journal, has recently published their first rigorous study in experimental conditions. The extracted results have demonstrated that Covid-19 could survive longer time than we human beings have imagined in the air and on surfaces.

 

The conclusion, which has been reached at the end of the article has shown that no matter for aerosol transmission or contact transmission, the virus can remain active and infectious until at least 3 hours in suspension and 3 days on surface, although whose ability to spread depends on the number of particles that it carries.

 

The average lifespan of the virus in these environmental conditions is:

In the air: 66 minutes for aerosols

On surfaces:

-5 hours and half on stainless steel surface

-7 hours on plastic surface

-3 hours on carboard surface

-45 minutes on copper surface

 

In front of this figure, we Germiled realizes that sanitizing air and surfaces is essential to protect our health.

 

For your awareness, we would like to re-emphasize the importance of slowing virus spread and transmission in public spaces like offices, shopping centers, schools, museums and public transports, as well as our homes.

 

Germiled, we put radiation UV-C at your disposal to obtain the aforementioned disinfection effect.

 

In the report EPA, it makes very clear that UV-C has been used as a disinfectant for surface, air and water sterilization for more than 40 years.

 

We GERMILED, equipped with the cutting-edged UV-C technology, are carrying out a series of researches at international level on developing products that could generate this type of radiation. We are designing products with different UV-C radiation technologies, such as pulsed lights, excimer lamp with an emission ⋏ = 222nm.

 

On our website (https://www.germicidalamp.com/), you can get access to these equipment that can be helpful to reduce the stability of Covid-19.

 

If you have any questions about how to disinfect large or difficult surface, you can contact to our technical professional via this email: office@germiled.com We will find out the best solution for you.

 

In the end, Candelabro S.L would like to let you know, if the germicidal equipment you buy complies with the UNE0068 standard and has necessary safety elements included, it will not pose any risk to your health. In order to ensure a total safety when using our products, we recommend you to strictly follow our instructions that we provide along with our products.
